Services are provided 365 days per year, therefore the successful applicants will be required to cover a range of shifts on a rota basis, including but not limited to; days, evenings, weekends and Bank holidays. For an informal chat or simply to learn more about the role before you apply, please contact Sarah Witchell (Registered Manager) or Julie James (Deputy Manager) on 01443 309262.
Protecting children and vulnerable adults is a core responsibility of all staff appointed to the Council.
