Please note - A current driving licence is an essential requirement of this post. However, if you have a disability which precludes you from holding a driving licence consideration will be given if alternative transport can be arranged. Due to the ever changing health and social care climate, this post holder may be required in the future to work flexibly within the context of working regular weekends, to provide a 6 or 7 day per week service. There is also a requirement to regularly travel to different workplaces. This will be discussed further at interview.
