You'll also help prepare and share meals, making mealtimes a time for connection and enjoyment.
As Sarah communicates in her own unique ways, your ability to understand her needs through non-verbal cues will be key. Every small action you take will make a big difference in Sarah’s life, and the rewards—like a smile or a moment of joy—are truly priceless.
Position Details:
- 37.5 hours per week
- Rotational shifts(days, evenings, weekends, and bank holidays)
- Must have held a UK Manual or Automatic licence for a minimum of 2 years.
