You'll be part of a small, close-knit team supporting five people with complex needs to live full and meaningful lives on their own terms. Whether you're helping someone cook a meal they love, encouraging them to get out into the community, or simply being a steady, trusted presence at home, everything you do will be about making life richer and more independent for the people you support. No two days are the same, and that's what makes this role so rewarding.

• Assisting with personal care and hygiene with sensitivity and respect
• Helping to manage finances and medication
• Getting out into the community for shopping, social activities, and days out
• Encouraging independence and wellbeing in everything you do

Who we're looking for:

• Someone warm, patient, and genuinely passionate about supporting others
• A positive, can-do attitude and a caring nature
• A commitment to enhancing the lives of the people you support
• A willingness to attend training and grow in your role

Benefits

• 24 days’ holiday + bank holidays; increasing with length of service
• Matched pension contributions up to 5%.
• Free life assurance
• Cashback and discounts on high street brands (including 10% off Sense shops)
• Cycle to work scheme
• Travel season ticket loans
• Enhanced sick pay
• Free DBS check (if required)
• £350 refer-a-friend scheme
• Access to 100+ online and face-to-face training courses (including the Care Certificate)
• Free access to the Wisdom wellbeing app

If you’re looking for a role that’s active, meaningful, and full of heart; we’d love to welcome you to the team.
