About the Complex Care Assistant Role:
At Continuity of Care Services Ltd, we believe care is about more than tasks - it's about connection, trust, and helping someone live life to the fullest.

More than anything, he needs someone willing to take the time to get to know him. He enjoys getting out and about bowling, swimming, bus and train rides, trips to the park, and spending time in the community. At home, he enjoys participating in activities involving sensory objects. Your role will be to support him safely, encourage his independence, and help him enjoy the activities he loves.
