Description du poste

We're on the hunt for dynamic Support Workers/Personal Assistants to swoop in and save the day across community-based spots like Wigan, Chorley, Bury, Burnley, and more!

• A valid driving licence and access to your own vehicle (as travel between various locations is essential)
