  * Working with external agencies to ensure the best outcomes for young people

  * Keeping accurate records and maintaining safeguarding standards

  * Working both independently and as part of a supportive team

Why Join Peabody?

At Peabody, our values guide everything we do: Be Kind, Do the Right Thing, Love New Ideas, Celebrate Diversity, Keep Our Promises, and Pull Together.

You'll receive:

  * 25 days annual leave

  * Flexible benefits including healthcare, dental cover, and retail discounts

  * Up to 10% pension contribution and 4x life assurance

  * Learning and development opportunities, including funded apprenticeships

  * Weekday shifts

  * Approximately one weekend shift per week

  * Some Bank Holiday working

  * No sleep-ins required

Additional Information
