About The Service
What does a typical day at SCS Norwich look like?
You’ll start your day with a comprehensive handover so you are aware of your plans and activities as well as any relevant information.
You could then be supporting people to walk the dog, go swimming, take a trip to the cinema, walks by the riverside, helping out at the allotment, cooking together, going shopping in the city, playing cards, playing pool or just sitting to have a chat with the people we support.
At the end of the day you will feel valued, appreciated and will have changed the lives of the people we support.
