You`ll be empowering our service users to lead the life they want and you`ll support them to go out for woodland walks, going by car on day trips, to the cinema and bowling. You`ll join a supportive team with a `can do` attitude who engage with our residents to find new things for the service users to join in with whether it`s arts and crafts, cooking or a disco. As part of the role you will be required to provide personal care and support with eating and drinking.
