What you will be doing - its all about people

That might mean helping with everyday routines, exploring hobbies, getting out into the community, trying something new or simply being there to offer encouragement.
Everyone is different, and that's what makes this role so rewarding. You'll get to know each person, discover what they enjoy and support them to live life their way.
