- Opportunities to take forward projects and pathway development.
- A warm, close knit team where you will be supported, listened to, and trusted.
- Technology that makes life easier, including company devices and access to AI tools such as Heidi to reduce admin burden.
- Salary of £48,000 per annum, prorated for part time.
