This is a temporary role covering long term sick leave and is for a minimum of 8 weeks subject to the employee returning to work. therefore the suitable candidate would be available to start work immediately.

This is an exciting role for an experienced Team Leader who understands the complexities of overseeing staff and ensuring they can lead a team to make positive impact on the lives of those who are vulnerable.
