Who you’ll be supporting & more about the role

This role is based in a warm and welcoming service that currently supports four individuals with learning disabilities, with a fifth person joining soon. Each person has their own unique personality, interests, and support needs—and they’re looking for someone like you to help them live life to the fullest.

You’ll support people to enjoy a wide range of activities, including:
