The Role
You'll provide person-centred support on a 1:1 basis, helping individuals live as independently as possible within their own homes.

- Forensic risk backgrounds
- Personal care, including assisting with the application of prescribed creams
- Encouraging independence and participation in daily activities
- Supporting community access and social inclusion
Shift Pattern
37-hour permanent contract, working alternate weekends. Typical shifts include: 9:00am - 4:00pm, 4:00pm - 11:00pm followed by a sleep-in. Expected to complete 12 sleep-ins per week (rota dependent). Plenty of overtime available for those wanting additional hours.
What We're Looking For
We welcome applications from both experienced care professionals and those new to the sector.
Essential:
- Caring, reliable and compassionate nature
- Good communication skills
- Commitment to providing high-quality, person-centred support

- Level 2 Health & Social Care qualification (or above)
