You will need to be DipSW, CSS or CQSW qualified and registered with the SSSC. An enhanced PVG disclosure is also required and is requested for you by TACT.

You will be required to be on an out of hours’ rota and you will be paid an out of hours’ allowance of £1,500 per annum once participating in the rota.
