Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility. You should be able to recognize signs of abuse, harm, or neglect and know how to respond. All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training and undertake additional training as needed, with the ability to seek advice and escalate concerns appropriately.

We provide full training and a variety of benefits to support your well-being and career development, including:

• Hourly rate based on experience and qualifications
