• Working with colleagues and partner agencies to achieve the best outcome for our customers
• Maintaining a safe environment for clients, providing support in accordance with relevant regulations, procedures and practices

• Experience working as part of a team is essential
• You will be empathetic and non‑judgmental with a positive approach to managing challenging behaviour

• Excellent interpersonal, organisational, listening and time management skills

• A variety of online discounts and rewards from major retailers
• Health and well‑being plans
• A wide range of learning and development opportunities

We reserve the right depending on application numbers to close or extend the closing dates for positions; we would therefore recommend an early application.

Sanctuary Group encourages and welcomes applications from people from diverse backgrounds to support our commitment to offering an inclusive environment for our employees and customers.

We work closely with the Home Office in order to prevent illegal working.

An enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check will be necessary in the event of a successful application which we will pay for.
