If you are interested in working at Marymead you can speak to the Team Leader to find out more information about the program you are applying to work in. You can also ask the Team Leader if you can speak to a staff member currently working in the program so you can get a direct understanding of what would be involved. Some staff work across more than one program, and staff sometimes transfer from one program to another to broaden their perspective and gain new skills.
