This is a fantastic network of services which enables great outcomes for the people we support. We are looking for staff who have the commitment and dedication to go the extra mile to enable people to achieve their personal goals and live a happy life.
Experience of working with people with a learning disability is essential, as is a relevant professional qualification. You must be warm and able to work in a person-centred way with people with a learning disability.
