• Experience supporting individuals with complex needs
• Knowledge of Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) approaches
• Experience following support plans and risk assessments
• A calm, patient and resilient approach
• Strong communication and teamwork skills
• A full UK driving licence (preferred)

Most importantly, you'll be compassionate, respectful and committed to delivering high-quality, person-centred support.
