Experience in delivering services within a CQC-regulated residential or supported living environment, working with key stakeholders, and a commitment to the Recovery Model of mental health support are required. You should be compassionate, able to provide high-quality care promptly, and work on a rota that includes evenings and weekends.
Benefits include a defined contribution pension scheme (PayCare), free counselling through the Employee Assistance Programme, a cycle to work scheme, and comprehensive training.
