We are excited to be recruiting into our Charles England House (CEH) team for a newly created role. Does the flexibility of a part time role appeal to you? Do you have skills in administration and an interest in learning how to keep a supported housing scheme running smoothly, that would support the work of the CEH team in allowing young people to reach their independent living goals? If yes, we want to hear from you!
