Previous experience of working in a community setting and an understanding of the legal frameworks, including Adult Support and Protection, and the Local Authority’s statutory responsibilities are required.

We're committed to creating a workplace culture where all our people feel valued, included, and able to be their best at work. We recognise the benefits that a diverse workforce with different values, beliefs, experience, and backgrounds brings to us as an organisation.
To help achieve this, we’re changing the way we interview and assess candidates by moving from a competency-based interview approach to a behavioural and technical (skills for the job) based approach. This new way of interviewing will allow us to assess how you think and how you would bring Our Behaviours of Respect, Integrity, and Flexibility into your ways of working.
Our salary range typically reflects the initial starting salary and annually increases until it reaches the top of the range.
Happy to talk flexible working.
