• Excellent communication, relationship-building, coaching, and mentoring skills.
• Ability to work confidently in complex and sometimes challenging environments.

What We Offer In Return

We are proud to have been recognised and certified as a Great Place to Work, which speaks volumes on how much we value our staff members. In return for the hard work and dedication from our teams, we offer the following benefits:

• 30 days annual leave plus bank holidays (rising to 32 days at 5 years service) pro rata for part-time and the option to purchase or sell days
• Enhanced pension
• Wagestream - ability to release earnings, giving you instant access to your pay
• Smart Clinic Wellbeing Programme including Employee Assistant Programme, GP and priority physiotherapy access and shopping discounts with the opportunity to sign up for a Blue Light Card
