“It’s about leading by example – supporting my team so they can give the very best care every single day.”
That’s how one of our Team Leaders describes their role. If you’re a confident, compassionate leader who’s ready to inspire others and make a real difference, we’d love to hear from you.
A home, not just a service
Our City Park service is home to up to four adults with physical disabilities. Our service feels like family – relaxed, supportive, and centred around the people who live here. Every day brings new moments to celebrate: from small wins in independence to big laughs over mealtimes.
35 hours per week between 7am & 10pm with flexibility required to work across weekdays and weekends as part of a rota. You’ll also take part in our on‑call system to ensure the smooth running of the service.
We’ll work with you to agree a pattern that suits the needs of the service and you.
