Children's Carers / Support Worker

Due to expansion we are looking for people to join our team to support children with additional needs in their own homes, including but not limited to Autism, Learning disabilities and/or physical disabilities. Experience preferred but not essential as full training will be delivered in house by our experienced management team and our registered nurse. You must be local, reliable and committed to working in care, and be available to work every other weekend. We think that there are lots of people that would like to care but just need the right set of circumstances and training and the right kind of company to support their work life balance. Your written and spoken English must be excellent as you will make daily care records, administer medication and need to fully understand care plans and risk assessments.,
