About the Role
This opportunity is based in a registered care home in Barnet, where you’ll support seven individuals, three women and four men, aged between their 50s and 90s.

Communication styles vary, with some people using words to communicate and others using alternative communication methods. A calm, patient, and thoughtful approach is essential. You’ll also receive full training to support individuals with epilepsy and other complex medical needs.
