You’ll be supporting one woman in her 50s, living in her own bungalow within a small cluster of bungalows and flats in Bricket Wood. She receives 1:1 support at home and in the community and lives a very active life.

You’ll be a great match if you:
- Are patient, warm, and comfortable with loud vocalisations and sensory behaviours.
- Are active and enjoy being out and about.
- Can cook and enjoy preparing home-made meals.
