What we need from you

We are looking for someone with the creativity and enthusiasm to support people in difficult circumstances, ideally with experience in a health or social care. If you haven’t got advocacy qualifications it’s not a problem, we can offer training. You’ll be mainly working from home but will also need to engage with your colleagues and external people.

As this role is home based with regular travel, mainly but not exclusively in Mid/East Cornwall, you must have access to both a stable home broadband service and your own transport as well as flexibility with working hours.

We also need you to be located in Cornwall.
