• Act as a key worker, supporting individuals to set and review goals.
• Maintain safety, confidentiality and professional standards.
• Contribute ideas to continuously improve the service.

If you are passionate about making a positive difference to people’s lives, we would love to hear from you.

What you'll bring to the role

Our work is rewarding but can be challenging, so resilience is key. No two days are the same! Your natural empathy will help you support others through both the highs and lows.

• A caring and respectful approach to supporting others.
• Ability to work flexibly and think innovatively.
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
