An excellent communicator with the ability to prioritise your own workload, you'll be highly organised and capable of working both independently and as part of a team.

As well as the satisfaction of helping to improve thousands of lives across Leicester, you can look forward to a work environment that encourages a healthy work/life balance. You’ll enjoy generous annual leave, membership of the Local Government Pension Scheme and the option of flexible working.
