We are looking for Support Workers to provide valuable and caring support to adults with learning disabilities. This particular role is based in Milton supporting a young man. Read about him in his own words below:

“I like to be busy and chat to everyone, and I have lots of hobbies and interests. My hobbies include bowling, archery, going for walks in the forest, going to the beach and visiting castles. When I’m at home, I enjoy watching TV and really like sharing some of my favourite shows with the people who support me. I love listening to music and singing along, and get really excited when it’s Halloween and Christmas with all the decorations. I’m looking for someone who can support me and have fun with me and my imaginative ideas.”
