What we're looking for:

  • Confident telephone communication skills, and the ability to 'type and talk'.
  • Sound IT and record-keeping skills.
  • Resilience and adaptability.
  • Commitment to demonstrating the organisation's values and behaviours, showing compassion, empathy and respect.
  • Awareness of the Care Act (2014), particularly Section 42, or willingness to research ahead of the interview.
