Who are we? We are a group of adults of varying ages with a variety of abilities but we are very independent and we are very busy every day. What are we proud of? We are proud of everything we do! We look after our flats and support each other in daily tasks such as cooking meals together. We are a very active bunch! We love volunteering and have recently been helping out at the Rugby League World Cup. Some of us even ended up on TV! Every day, we either go to day services, allotment working, bowling, cinema, discos and go on holidays. What do we look for in a Support Worker? We can get along with anyone as long as you are kind, friendly, warming and get stuck in! We don't get along with people who shout or stop us from making choices.
This role is working nights only - 2 nights one week, and 3 nights the next. The night shift is 930pm until 830am.
