Are you seeking a new career in Social Care, with a regular monthly salary and job security?
We are looking for full time, part time & relief Support Workers to join our team in the Terrington area where we support 3 wonderful people who live together.
Their home is an extremely well-equipped bungalow which has a lovely,homely feel to it.
All 3 people lead busy lives and participate in lots of community-based activities such as hydrotherapy, weekend theatre trips, holidays abroad or simply popping out for a bite to eat!
The staff team in Terrington also provide support to 3 ladies who live in Downham Market so the use of a vehicle and ability to drive is essential.
The ladies in Downham are quite independent and the support we offer is around building on their daily living skills and promoting further independence.
The current staff team are extremely dedicated to the people they support and between them, have years of experience. You will be able to draw on this experience and expertise if you are successful.
