You're a compassionate, resilient and confident person who is passionate about making a difference. With previous care or support experience, you'll be comfortable supporting people with complex needs, autism, learning disabilities and epilepsy, always promoting dignity, independence and choice.

Patient, observant and calm under pressure, you'll be skilled at building trusting relationships and responding positively to a variety of situations. As a strong team player, you'll work closely with colleagues to provide consistent, person‑centred support while following PBS approaches and support plans.
