• A willingness to gain a relevant SVQ II qualification is essential

Please note that, some of our services will require you to have the use of a car for work purposes, however other services will only require you to be able to drive Service Users cars, therefore a current full UK driving licence may be required. (not applicable for bank contracts).

If you have previous experience of working with vulnerable adults, this would be desirable.
