• Opportunity to earn extra money with our 'Refer a Friend' scheme

• Access to hundreds of eLearning courses
• Guaranteed working hours on a permanent contract
• We are an established family-run business, not an agency
• Work available in your community
• Good mileage allowance
• Wellbeing support with access to qualified Mental Health First Aiders
• Blue Light discount package (discounts on travel, leisure, entertainment, and more)
• Wellbeing events and initiatives including yoga, relaxation, self-gratification, and menopause support
• Company pension scheme
• Staff appreciation incentives, rewards, and personal gifts

About The Role
