The successful candidate would be joining the Prevention and Service Development Team, a large, very busy, stable and very successful team covering a broad range of different areas of service, including commissioning, programme and project management, grant funding, business support as well as front line work with families and other providers. All staff work from home as well as in the office and staff wellbeing is a high priority for all.
