• Own Vehicle: You must have your own vehicle with business insurance for travel to and from the customer’s home due to the rural location in Brundall, Norfolk.
• Care Experience: A minimum of 6 months’ experience in care, whether in a community or care home setting.
• Positive Attitude & Communication: You should have a positive, can-do attitude and excellent communication skills.
• Motivation to Make a Difference: We value individuals who are passionate about making a difference and show respect and compassion in their work.
