You will ideally have:

Strong communication, organisation, and interpersonal skills.

The ability to work independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team.

A good understanding of safeguarding and professional boundaries.

A commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion.

A relevant qualification in Health and Social Care, Mental Health, Housing, or a related discipline is desirable but not essential.
