At Priority Childcare, part of Orbis Education & Care, we provide person-centred support that helps people live fulfilling, meaningful lives — and we’re looking for Care Assistants to join our welcoming team at Graig Y Bedw in Pontardulais, Swansea.
Graig Y Bedw is a warm, supportive home set in a peaceful community, supporting adults with a range of needs including learning disabilities, mental health needs, and autism. Our focus is on creating a safe, nurturing environment where individuals can build confidence, develop life skills, and move towards greater independence.

* Confident communicators with a positive, can-do approach
* Flexible to work a rota including days, evenings, weekends, and waking nights
* Hold a full UK driving licence (essential due to needs of our individuals)
