No experience? No problem. We believe that the right person is someone who is caring, dependable, and eager to learn. If you’re new to support work or haven’t worked in a care setting before, we’ll provide full training and ongoing support to help you thrive. What matters most is your attitude and your willingness to make a difference.
This role in Exeter might include:
Building positive relationships with the people we support, helping them feel safe, respected, and valued.
Supporting people with everyday tasks like cooking and cleaning.
Uphold Sense’s values of dignity, inclusion, and person-centred care in everything you do.
