• Teaching and developing life skills

• Encouraging the people we support to access the community

• Accompanying on trips and leisure activities

• Dealing with some behaviours that challenge

• Personal care

• Taking an interest in the lives of the people we support

What you get from us?

• Pension contribution

• Paid DBS

• Access to free occupational health, physiotherapy, counselling and advice services

• Fully paid training and access to nationally recognised qualifications

• Sick Pay

• Access to an online shopping platform with discounts from over 3,500 retailers

Please note that this role will involve elements of evening, weekend and bank holiday work as well as sleep in shifts so flexibility is essential and the successful candidates will be subject to a full DBS check
