About You
You will need some experience working with vulnerable people, ideally those with learning disabilities. Perhaps you have been a support worker or care worker / practitioner and are now looking to step up to a more senior role with more responsibilities and greater challenges.
You will need to be flexible and organised, with a positive approach.
You must also be a driver with a manual licence, as you will be driving house vehicles, as well as possibly commuting places, using your own transport.
