Do you enjoy managing a varied caseload of people and working in a person centred and empowering way? Are you enthusiastic about tackling the barriers that disabled people face on a day-to-day basis ? Then this could be the role you’re looking for.
We are looking to find a passionate, motivated individual with excellent communication and people skills to join our Touchpoint Team.
