What are we looking for?

As part of a friendly and supportive team of Support Workers you will:
- Help with jobs around the house
- Accompany the people we support on trips
- Provide active support
- Encourage the people we support to try new things
- Provide personal care
The service you will be working in supports 4 individuals with a range of needs including learning disabilities, mobility issues and acquired brain injury so you will need to adapt the support you provide depending on the individual.
