You will be joining a service that has been running successfully for ten years and is going through an exciting period of expansion and development.

It is essential that you have three years’ experience of working intensively with people with highly complex needs and collaborating on complex safeguarding cases. You should be confident lone working for extended periods of time and independently making decisions around support for service users.
