As a Support Worker, you will make a real difference to residents' lives as you improve their daily living skills.

We tailor our services to enable people to be as independent as possible. Please note that you must be a driver to be considered for this role. Shift Patterns This is a 24 hour service, therefore flexibility is essential. You will be working a range of shifts from 7am - 2pm, 2pm to 9pm and 9pm to 7am. Please note that working hours may vary from service to service., This is a hands-on job in which no two days are the same. Your duties will include:

Can you see yourself providing care to adults who need your support?, Whilst knowledge of learning disabilities and complex needs would be beneficial, it isn't essential.
