Overview
Join to apply for the Support Worker role at Acuity Care Group.
Shift Pattern: 8am-8pm. We are looking for someone enthusiastic to support an individual living with their family in Penzance. This person is more than their Prader Willi Syndrome and autism – they are a unique individual with a range of interests and hobbies that bring them joy. They love getting immersed in the world of Harry Potter, enjoy horse riding, and have a creative side expressed through woodworking. They appreciate everyday activities like going to the shops and staying active at the gym. To help them make the most of their life and enjoy the things they love, we’re seeking someone who knows Penzance well, can drive a car, and holds a full UK driving licence. If you are local and passionate about supporting someone to live their best life, we’d love to hear from you.
