The Role

There will be lots of opportunity to participate in service promotion, networking activities and events to support the visibility of the service, as well as developing relationships with local services and communities to strengthen pathways into the service. We are looking for an individual to work full-time, which will include 3 days 9-5pm and 2 days 12-8pm per week (fixed), Monday to Friday, however due to possible requirements of the service, potentially occasional Saturdays (9-2pm remotely). Another day off would be agreed on during the week. About You
