About this opportunity
Come and make someone smile! Teach someone something new and make a real difference to someone’s life by just being there.

As a relief member of our team, your hours will be “as and when required”, working around your availability. Where possible, advance notice will be given for shifts to cover short and long-term absences within Kendal Supported Living Service.
Responsibilities
* Support with medication, personal care, nutrition, hydration, community engagement and emotional care, as required by the individual service user.
* Promote independence and support service users to access local communities and activities.
* Provide person-centred support based on individual care plans and needs.
