The role will include supporting with bathing, showering, assistance with toilet needs and all aspects of personal care always delivered in a respectful and dignified way.

You will also support the people who live at Whitegates View and Cottage with their choice of daily activities — whether that’s a trip into town, going for a swim, doing crafts, walking in the countryside, or simply sharing time, conversation, and laughter.
