• Caring, compassionate and genuinely passionate about supporting others
• Comfortable supporting with personal care
• Happy working evenings, weekends and sleep-ins
• Female – this is an occupational requirement under Schedule 9, Part 1 of the Equality Act 2010 due to the personal care involved
• A full driving licence holder with access to a car and Business Class 1 insurance

This is one of those jobs where what you do really matters If you’re someone who believes in kindness, compassion, independence and treating people as individuals, I’d love to hear from you. And if you know someone who would be absolutely brilliant at this…

A little kindness goes a very long way
