- Flexibility to travel within your allocated patch for training and team meetings and be flexible to cover other local patches as required.

**What you can expect from us**
- A dynamic and supportive team who delivers results for the people we support every day.
- The opportunity to work flexibly within the community as this role allows you to work from home in between property visits.
