JOIN E'S MICRO-TEAM IN ILMINSTER
Are you kind, reliable, and person-centred? Do you want a role where you can make a genuine difference to someone's life while being part of a supportive team?
About the Role
E is looking for a new support worker to join her team.
E is a fun, independent individual who knows her own mind. She loves animals (especially her two cats), enjoys playing on her PlayStation, and going for bike rides.
We're looking for a confident support worker who has a good sense of humour and can bring positivity and understanding to the role. Experience supporting someone with autism is essential to E.
