The people we support love to get out and about every day, they have a wide range of interests from following Leicester City to Elvis Presley, WWE wrestling to watching fun reality TV shows and they all love to eat out.

So, if you enjoy building meaningful relationships and think you could plan, communicate and deliver support with and alongside people, then this is the place for you.

For this role we need you to be a driver with a full UK License and be willing to drive a mobility vehicle so you can get around Ashby and surrounding areas and make the most of the time you are spending with the people you support.
