You will support service users throughout the day with tasks such as meal preparation, social activities, family contact, education, and shopping. Please note, personal care is not required for this position.
We are looking for positive role models who are flexible, reliable, and interactive, eager to work in a specialised environment. Full accredited training and qualifications will be provided, including Team Teach, Child Protection, St Johns Ambulance First Aid, Understanding Sexualised Behaviour, Working with Self Harm, Cyberbullying, and Understanding Autism and ADHD.
Applicants must complete an enhanced DBS check or provide a portable DBS, and successfully complete one of our induction programmes before placements can be offered, unless you are on the new national DBS database.
