- Completing and reviewing internal quality and compliance systems
- Participating in the on-call rota
About You
The most important qualities for this role are kindness, honesty, respect and strong listening skills, alongside the ability to lead by example.
You will have:
- Experience supporting adults with learning disabilities
- A minimum Level 3 NVQ/QCF in Health & Social Care (or working towards)
- At least 6 months' experience in a Team Leader role
