We have a proud history of breaking boundaries and are always looking for new ways to make a positive difference through bold ideas, innovative projects and impactful partnerships.

What You'll Be Doing

You’ll be supporting 2 ladies and 1 gentleman to live their daily lives in the way they want to live them. This means you will provide support in a wide variety of ways, including:

• Supporting with personal care
• Medication Administration
• Home management, including support with cooking, cleaning, shopping and budget management
• While out and about the people we support often use wheelchairs, so you need to be fit enough to push a wheelchair!
• Daily activities - anything and everything the people we support like to do is something you might provide support with! So come ready and willing to put yourself out there and support with gardening, arts and crafts, puzzles, going to the theatre and spa days cling, rambling, baking, listening to music and visiting local coffee shops
