This is an interesting and varied role which offers the opportunity to work with multi-agency partners, including Kent County Council, Medway Council, Kent Police and the Integrated Care Board.

When applying, please use the reason for applying section to provide examples of how you meet all the requirements set out in the job description and person specification.  In particular, we are looking to recruit someone who is:
