You'll be part of a supportive team, empowering the people you work with to live fulfilled lives with new experiences, choices, and inclusive opportunities - both at home and out in the wider community. No two days will be the same, but every day will matter.

This role might include supporting people with:

• Everyday tasks like cooking and cleaning
• Personal care and hygiene
• Finances and medication
• Getting out into the community for activities and social events

Experience is welcome but not essential; what matters most is the right values and attitude.

• 24 days’ holiday + bank holidays; increasing with length of service
• Matched pension contributions up to 5%.
• Cashback and discounts on high street brands (and 10% off at Sense charity shops!).
• Travel season ticket loans.
• Wisdom app- free access for all employees to mindfulness application
• Free DBS check if your role needs one.
