We’re always on the lookout for people who share our passion for improving the lives and wellbeing of people in our community, as well as our values of compassion, collaboration, excellence, integrity and respect.

The successful candidate will be educated to GCSE level with an administration NVQ or QCF or equivalent experience. Essential requirements of this post include a confident telephone manner, good IT skills, high level communication skills, attention to detail and sensitivity due to the nature of the service.
