The hub is based at Sale Waterside, and you will generally be in the office for case discussions - but there is some flexibility if you have assessments to write up (these can be done at home). You will be carrying out assessments in hospitals and homes - so you will need to be a driver and have access to a car to travel to visits and carry out assessments.
