Job Overview

Looking for a role where no two days are the same and where you can genuinely make a difference to people's lives?

This is a lively, social and rewarding home where the people we support are at the heart of everything we do. You'll be supporting two ladies and two gentlemen aged in their 50s and 60s to live the lives they choose, maintaining their independence, achieving personal goals and enjoying the interests they love most.

You'll provide person-centred support with daily living tasks, including personal care, medication administration, meal preparation, shopping and maintaining a comfortable home environment. Some people require full support with personal care, whilst others benefit from encouragement and prompting to remain as independent as possible.
