You must be a warm, caring and trustworthy individual who is committed to the welfare of others.
Due to the range and abilities of service users in the Carlisle area you will need to be familiar with or willing to train to a high level of understanding and empathy to support older adults with dementia.
This is a Relief Support Worker position which enables you to pick up shifts at a time that suits you, which is ideal for fitting around personal commitments, study or caring responsibilities.
