Able to communicate effectively and build positive relationships.
Calm and confident when dealing with challenging behaviour.
A good team player who is also able to work independently.
Flexible and willing to work shifts, including evenings, weekends and sleep-ins where required.

Opportunities for career progression.
A rewarding role where you can genuinely make a difference.
