    What We’re Looking For

    You’ll be:

    • Confident managing a diverse caseload
    • Skilled in delivering structured interventions and group facilitation
    • Organised, proactive and solution-focused
    • Comfortable working across multi-agency environments
    • Committed to safeguarding, confidentiality and ethical practice

    Flexibility is essential, this may include occasional evenings/weekends and travel within your cluster to maintain continuity of care.

    Join a multidisciplinary, purpose-driven team where your work has visible, measurable impact. You’ll play a vital role in transforming lives, strengthening communities, and supporting individuals to build safer, healthier futures. This is a role that blends frontline support with meaningful partnership working, giving you the opportunity to see real change happen, every single day.

    If you’re motivated, resilient, and ready to help people build better futures, we’d love to hear from you.
