The arrangement which will run initially from March 2023 until 31st October 2023 is for someone to join the sleep team for 7 or 14 hours a week.

However, we would be open to conversations with applicants who may want to know more about the important role of understanding the diverse impact around families struggling with sleep issues. You will be involved in delivering workshops and presentations to both parents and young people along with providing 1-1 support.
Awareness and having an understanding of how sensory processing impacts on sleep routines would also be an advantage in this position.
We are looking for someone to begin working with us from the end of February 2023 to ensure that any induction, training, and handover be carried out to ensure that the continuation of our sleep service is not affected during this transitional period.
The salary for this position is set at Scale Pt Scale 5 SCP 15 of an annual salary of £23,953.00 (2021/22 NJC) pro rata.
