We are pleased to be a part of the scheme and are offering a wide range of jobs across our organisation and based all over Kent.

- be part of the employer National Insurance contributions
- be automatically enrolled into employer minimum contributions schemes
- be supplied with equipment.
You may also be able to progress to be part of our apprenticeship scheme or with one of our many partner organisations.

To apply for a job, you must be registered with your local Jobcentre and receive Universal Credit.
