Experience of working in the social care or healthcare sector is preferred in this role, as the people we support have a variety of healthcare and mobility needs.
The people we support have faced a lot of challenges in the past because of their learning disabilities and physical disabilities but this hasn’t stopped them from enjoying life! They enjoy lots of activities, including going out for walks, catching up with friends, listening to music, aromatherapy and keeping in touch with their families. They have a large shared garden with their bungalow in a quiet cul de sac, which they love to use in the summer for events. However, they’re always up for trying new things, so are looking for inventive people who are up for the challenge.
