Person Requirements:

• At least two years of experience as a Support Worker in a Learning Disabilities setting.
• An NVQ3 (or equivalent) qualification is essential for Band 4 roles. There is also an opportunity to progress through a BTech in Positive Behaviour Support qualification.

• A higher-than-UK salary.
• An annual bonus of £1,605.
