PICs work alongside health and care professionals, adopting a multidisciplinary approach to working with people who have long term health and social care needs.

We are committed to providing a flexible and productive working environment for all employees. Evolving technology and communication platforms enable employees to work in new and different ways, where we can meet our stakeholder needs and continue to deliver against our charitable objectives. We recognise the importance of supporting employees to have greater personal choice and maintain a healthier work/life balance.

Full training will be provided; the important qualities we are looking for are: 

 Excellent communication and listening skills 

 A positive attitude and the ability to problem solve 

 A cheerful, friendly and outgoing personality 

 The ability to work flexibly, alone and as part of a team
