- You need an enhanced level DBS check for this role.

**What we will offer you in return**
- An annual salary of £26,845 (NJC SCP 17)
- A fixed-term, full-time contract until March 2025
- 25 days holiday, and 30 once you've been here five years
- A relaxed culture where you are expected to plan your own day, take breaks when you need them and enjoy your work
- Ongoing personal and professional development through regular supervision
- A supportive, flexible approach to managing staff health and wellbeing, including a wide range of perks, schemes and support.

**What next?**

Big Life strives to be diverse and inclusive - a place where we can all be ourselves. We strongly encourage applicants from all parts of society. You can read on our careers site about the actions we are taking ourselves to fight inequality and inspire change.
