• Managing personal finances
• Encouraging independence, confidence and choice
  
  

But the best part? You'll also help make life enjoyable!

The lady you will support loves getting out and about, enjoying a coffee with friends, attending local activities and spending quality time with her family.

* As this young lady has her own mobility car, we will need you have a full UK driving license with a minimum of 1 years' experience on the roads.

Shift Patterns

As we’re dedicated to providing the best support possible, our shift patterns do include early mornings and rotational sleepovers, weekends and public holidays.

Our sleepovers don't form part of your contracted hours, so you will earn an extra £107.60 payment for every sleepover shift that you work.

We are looking to fill this vacancy as soon as possible so reserve the right to close this vacancy early if we find a suitable candidate before the closing date. Please apply early to avoid disappointment.
