We are located in the heart of Glastonbury, supporting 6 individuals with a learning disability and physical disabilities. We are looking for a dedicated team who will support people to go out, trips to the theatre, cinema, local clubs, bowling, meeting friends, local places of interest and to be offered new opportunities! But also a team that can support the people in their home with as high level of independence as possible; the people at Jasmine need support with every aspect of their daily routine from getting up, making breakfast and planning their days.
