The Vacancy
I recently joined the CHAS Family Support Team from a Local Authority role. It has been a great move! At CHAS, I have a manageable caseload, allowing me to spend quality time getting to know families and understanding how I can help them access the specialist support they need. I have the flexibility to manage my own time and achieve a better work-life balance. Claire Wilson, Family Support Team Leader
