Develop your skills in a role that offers real variety, challenge, and opportunity for growth
Build strong working relationships with care providers, health professionals, and wider partners

What We Are Looking For

Have experience of, or a strong interest in, working with adults in care home and extra care settings
Are confident in managing risk and safeguarding and understand the importance of balancing safety with independence
