In return we provide:
• A full induction and on-going training and development relevant to the role.
• A friendly, diverse, dynamic, and supportive team.
• Criminal Disclosure Check, Professional uniform, and any necessary equipment.
• Various routes of progression to other areas within Adult Services and across the Council.
