About Our Independent Living Hubs
Our Hubs support individuals living in their own flats within a residential building. Care is delivered on-site 24/7, meaning you'll travel from flat to flat within the same building ideal for non-drivers.

Each Hub also has a Day Centre, where individuals attend to socialise, enjoy meals, and participate in activities. You may also support within these settings.
A driving licence is not required, but you must be able to travel to shifts starting at 7am or finishing at 10:30/11pm.
