Flexible working arrangements: The role may involve taking Aout into the community and supporting A whilst she attends provisions like animal therapy/cookery/art class etc.

Collaborative working: Your role will include working within an established, supportive, multi-disciplinary team which currently includes therapists. This will include report writing, attending the EHCP annual review and liaising with other team members as required.

Other: Female applicants only. Enhanced DBS essential. Own vehicle required and relevant insurance. Based in West Northants (NN7 3). (2 references will be required for successful candidate).
