When we’re working with children, young people and families it’s important that our colleagues have the highest quality support.
We have a number of administration roles as well as minute takers opportunities. There are also roles known as “light touch” ones which cover a variety of different jobs with a range of teams across our services.
We’ve gathered together those roles here.
After a brief description of the role you’ll see a link to the website of the organisation that offers those opportunities so you can find out more and apply for available roles
