This is a rewarding role that comes with excellent training and opportunities for personal development.

In order to enable a diversity of older vulnerable people to live independently in their own home the post holder will help create a stimulating and varied programme of activities and social events, both at and away from the schemes

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of the children and vulnerable adults; therefore the post is subject to medical clearance and an enhanced DBS check.
