About you

We welcome people from all walks of life to apply for a job with us. As a Senior some experience in a supervisory role within a Health and Social care environment would be highly desirable but a full comprehensive training programme and induction will be provided.

It is essential you hold a full UK driving licence for this role.

* 20 days paid annual leave (plus 8 bank holidays , pro rata for part time) , which increases after 3 and 5 years’ service
