About the Role
We’re seeking a proactive and flexible Centre Assistant to support the smooth running of our residential centre in Chelmsford.

A flexible approach to tasks and teamwork

Strong communication and interpersonal skills

Reliability and attention to detail

Enhanced DBS and right to work documentation
