1 week ago
We are looking for a committed & compassionate person to take on our new Carers Lead role our wards in Canterbury & Thanet. You will need to demonstrate a good awareness of Carers issues and needs, the ability to engage positively with people and a passion for giving Carers a voice.
We offer flexibility within this role of hybrid working and full or part time working. Please let us know in your supporting statement what working pattern you are looking for.
In KMPT, we work within the principles of the "Triangle of Care" to ensure that our Carers are empowered and included.

You will need to be organised, self-motivated, be able to use your initiative and work independently.
