You can expect your working day at Errol House to be fun, full of activities and endless laughs!

All the individuals living here are non-verbal and require 1:1 support with aspects of 2:1 support when they access the community. We have two fulltime wheelchair users and the other three individuals use their wheelchairs when out on community activities.

• Personal care.
• Meal preparation.
• Monitoring, recording, and administering medication.
• Assistance with mobility.
• Accompanying individuals to a range of activities including, swimming, horse-riding, going to sensory rooms, going on walks and wheelchair ice skating sessions.

If you are kind, compassionate, empathetic and have a willingness to learn and make a difference we would LOVE to hear from you!

Due to the nature of this role, having a full UK driving licence is essential.
