As a general guide, you may support with personal care needs and help them take part in a wide range of special interests and activities that support their health and wellbeing.

- It is essential that you are able to work effectively as part of a team whilst demonstrating your own initiative.
- You will have had experience of person-centred planning, keeping records up to date and providing personal care.
