You will have experience of working with people with social care needs.
You must also possess:

Kent County Council offer an attractive benefits package and a commitment to ensuring that you achieve a healthy work life balance and opportunities for flexible working arrangements that meet business need.
Annual leave of 27 days rising to 29 after 5 years of service, bank holidays and an annual concessionary day around Christmas.
You will have excellent opportunities for professional development with access to our social care academy.
Hybrid working is offered, team meetings/supervision and other ad hoc meetings are office based.
The ability to travel across Kent in a timely and flexible manner at various times of the day is essential.
