Are you a Support Worker who is looking to take the next step in your career? Or perhaps you know someone who is!

Our forensic services in Hertfordshire are growing and we have a fantastic opportunity for someone who’s passionate about person-centred care to join us as an Assistant Locality Manager.

This role is ideal for people who want to grow professionally and take on more responsibility whilst still being able to provide the direct support that’s so incredibly rewarding - it's the best of both worlds!

This is a full-time position where you will be working 37.5 hours per week off-rota. You will be required to be on call and work flexibly on the rota.

The people we support have learning disabilities, autism, complex mental health needs and they have a forensic history. Experience supporting people with behaviours that others may find challenging is essential.

  • Establishing and monitoring service budgets
