This is an opportunity to work with an awesome dude in a friendly, family environment and you will need to be fun and outgoing to keep up with his great sense of humour
We are looking for an honest, reliable, resilient, kind and caring person to work within a small care team to provide person-centred care, support and rehabilitation to a young man with highly complex needs.
Experience is not necessary, as full training will be given, and who you are is more important to us – we are looking for someone who genuinely wants to make a difference to someone else's life.

He has cerebral palsy and needs support for all his personal care, mobility and all aspects of daily living. The young man has a fun and outgoing personality with a great sense of humour. He enjoys a wide range of activities both at home and out and about and team members have the opportunity to get involved as required to ensure that this young man has a fun-filled and fulfilling life.
