We’re offering a rewarding opportunity to join our South Communities Team as a Locality Co-ordinator. This role plays a vital part in supporting family and friend carers across West Sussex, with a particular emphasis on the Worthing and Adur districts. While you’ll work across all South localities as needed, your main focus will be on these communities.
