We are looking for a caring, reliable, and a confident Female Support Worker to join a small team supporting a 14-year-old girl with complex medical and developmental needs in her family home in Leigh.

At times, she may experience periods of distress and can display behaviours such as scratching or pulling, so a confident and positive approach to behaviour support is essential.

She enjoys spending time outdoors, going for walks, listening to music, participating in sensory activities, using her indoor swing, and relaxing in the hot tub.
