• Experience supporting adults with learning disabilities
• Confidence providing personal care
• Experience managing behaviours that challenge
• A calm, patient and positive approach
• Strong communication and teamwork skills

In return, you'll join a supportive team, receive ongoing training and development, and have the opportunity to make a genuine difference to the lives of vulnerable adults every day.
