We are looking to recruit compassionate, courageous and ambitious support workers who boast integrity, champion respect and have a genuine interest in - and a passion for - supporting others.

You will be supporting with domestic tasks such as cooking, cleaning, food shopping and laundry, full personal care, manual handling (both hoist and wheelchair) and administering medication (understanding about epilepsy and stoma care would be a big bonus although training will be provided).
It is essential you hold a full UK/EU driving license for this role (the people we support have a Mobility Vehicle that their support workers need to drive for them - to be able to drive a Mobility Vehicle you need to have a full UK/EU license).
Shift patterns: 7am - 3pm / 2pm - 10pm / long day 7am - 10pm / sleep in (required two sleep ins a week). We're looking for people with flexibility to work on a rota basis that includes a combination of weekdays and weekends.
