* Strong communication and relationship-building skills, with the ability to work well in a team
* Experience supporting vulnerable individuals, ideally within mental health or related services
* Flexibility to work shifts, including waking nights and weekends
Why Join Us?

Here’s what you’ll enjoy as part of our team:
* Flexible working options to help you balance work and life in a way that suits you.
* 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays, increasing to 30 days with service – because your time off matters.
* A wealth of learning and career development opportunities, with paid and tailored training to support your growth.
* Free, confidential Employee Assistance Programme 24/7, including access to counselling and GP services – your wellbeing is a priority.
* Employer contributory pension scheme to help secure your future.
* Great maternity, paternity and adoption benefits to support you and your family.
