In return for your hard work and commitment, we offer a considerable benefits package which includes:

You will be involved in staff supervisions and budget settings whilst ensuring the support provided is in line with their agreed support plans whilst developing the service so it can be the best it can be. This role will also require managerial shifts covering the weekend.
