The role

- Going to the park to reach new heights on the swings.
- Travelling on the chain ferry across to Swanage for the day.
- On quieter days, Lucas challenges himself to tackle new puzzles and completes them in record time!
Lucas is supported on a 2:1 basis and is reliant on his support staff. He requires assistance with personal care, medication and meal preparation.
As a valued member of our team, your role will involve a mix of meaningful support, from helping with daily routines like food preparation, shopping, and personal care, to accompanying residents as they access the community and pursue their interests. You may also assist with administering medication to ensure their wellbeing.
