Helping others through this work is incredibly important to them and gives their life real purpose. This package will give the right carer the opportunity to support someone who is passionate about helping others, staying active in the community, and living life on their own terms. In return, our service user offers a welcoming, respectful working environment and the chance to be part of a consistent, supportive team where your role genuinely makes a difference.

• A minimum of 6 months of professional UK Care experience
• Must hold Full UK driving licence
• Excellent communication skills and the patience to build a strong, understanding relationship with an individual who has full mental capacity can make his own choices
• The ability to follow detailed care plans and protocols meticulously.
• A proactive and observant nature, able to spot subtle changes in an individual's condition.
