“I like that the role often involves working with diverse individuals and addressing numerous behaviours and situations, making it varied and interesting. Also, I love the flexibility to work from home!”
“I like the ability to be present with the client and the team and make a real difference on the ground through implementation, you really get to see the change you’re making first-hand,”.
“We’re all encouraged to find time to develop and evolve as practitioners to make sure the support we deliver is of a high standard. “
“The level of trust and respect we get from the manager to be autonomous and complete our hours under a hybrid model makes you want to turn up each day and return that trust in spades.”
