You’ll be supporting two wonderful individuals in their 60s–70s who truly have a zest for life and love making the most of every day.

Watching Eurovision and chatting all things pop and music
They bring energy, personality and a real sense of fun — and they’re looking for someone who can share in those moments.
Both individuals have learning disabilities and dysphagia, so you’ll play an important role in providing safe, consistent and person-centred support.
