- Experience of working within healthcare, the voluntary or community sectors, supporting vulnerable groups;
- Diploma Level 2 in Health and Social Care, or equivalent qualification or experience;
- Strong listening and communication skills;
- You will be familiar with local resources and services and how to access them;
