The Role

We need someone who can provide excellent and flexible support and advice in Waterlooville, Havant and the surrounding areas.

You will also be providing a weekly localised drop-in service, offering support to individuals who are able to attend independently. It is essential that you can demonstrate an understanding of the needs of people who may have recently undergone a change in personal circumstances. It is also essential that you are a car driver, and you will need business insurance.

YOU has a strong value base, striving to be person-centred, innovative, trustworthy, can-do and excellent at all times, so it is important that you are as passionate about these principles as we are.
