You will work closely with other colleagues and have regular access to your Senior Enablement Support Worker for “on the job” queries and support and from your Enablement Support Lead for supervision, professional development and access to training.

A robust and attainable career pathway has been built into the new structure so there will be opportunities to work your way through the structure to more senior positions.

• Enjoy a challenge
• Understand what it means to treat people with dignity and respect
• Can place a person at the centre of their care
• Can be creative and are forward thinking
• Have a driving licence and a vehicle that you are able to use for work

• Generous local government pension
• Genuine career development opportunity
• Wellbeing support
• PPE and workwear
• Robust Training Programme
