The afternoon shifts (11.30am - 3pm) will involve driving the client in his own car out to places of his choosing in the community such as shopping, parks, and any other daily tasks.

Due to the above, it is essential that any applicants interested in the afternoon shifts have a valid full UK driving license and are comfortable driving an assisted vehicle.

No previous experience required as full training, shadow shifts, and ongoing support from the Care Manager will be provided.

What you'll have:

• Kind and caring nature
