Part-Time Executive Assistant Jobs
CASS+ is now seeking to appoint a new CEO who will lead on the development and delivery of the CASS+ strategy.
Our vision is for advice and support to be available in every court across the UK. As a result, the successful candidate will take us into a new period of growth.

We guide people towards positive change and stay by their side for as long as they want us by their side.
