In addition, you’ll oversee the day-to-day running of our Independent Living Schemes, ensuring they meet all health and safety, safeguarding, and organisational standards. Where appropriate, you’ll also signpost residents to relevant professionals to ensure they receive the right support at the right time.

What can we do for you...

  • A generous holiday entitlement of 26 days (pro rata) rising to 31 days (pro rata) after five years (excluding Bank Holidays).
  • A flexible and agile working environment. We aim to provide opportunities to work from home or elsewhere and offer flexibility in working hours.
  • A comprehensive programme of learning and development.
  • Two days (pro rata) paid time off for volunteering.
  • Enhanced maternity and paternity schemes.
  • Access to free counselling services.
  • Upon successful completion of your probation period, you will then have access to our Healthcare Cashback Plan.
  • A cycle to work scheme.
  • Low-cost town centre parking.
  • A commitment to employee wellbeing.
