You are likely to have had some experience of working with, or for, a charity, or in a community, school, health, or training setting and want a job which will combine the dynamism of partnership development, with the social value of working in the education, health and care sector.
A willingness to attend occasional conferences and meetings away from the area (with full expenses provided) is required, as is the ability to work occasional evenings and single weekend days, when time off in lieu will be given.
Benefits include:
-
29 days annual leave per year plus bank holidays
