This is a 38-bed service split between sheltered and care accommodation with a day centre. The tenants that are supported here have individual personalities and different support needs including some with dementia. As an Extra Care service, the individuals we support here are 55+ and live in their own self-contained flats. As a Care Worker you will take a person-centred approach with our valued residents to ensure they are living their life to the fullest. You will support with day‑to‑day independence, enhance their various skills and support them with daily activities as well as providing emotional support and personal care.
