Short listed candidates will be invited for a short interview, for which, each candidate will have time to consider the questions and reflect on their experiences to support their answers.
All Claire House employees receive a rewards and recognition package which includes, generous annual leave, life cover, free access to an Employee Assistance Program and counselling service, free parking, access to training and courses and in-house clinical supervision.
