You'll also support them to maintain relationships with their friends and family whilst discovering new things to enjoy together.

Your support will enable the individuals to not only maintain their independence and continue to live in their own homes; you’ll also help them to play an active part of their community too.

• The ability to work well in a team
• Good communication and organisational skills

Our team currently deliver support between the hours of 0830-2130 hours, 7 days a week. Weekends and public holidays would form part of your rota on a rotational basis, but we aim to only have you working two weekends in a 2 month period.

Shift length can be anything between 4 and 10 hours, depending on what suits you and the person you will be supporting. There will be times where you will provide support to more than one person in one day.
