As a member of the care and support team You’ll:
- Help with personal care, including washing, dressing and mealtimes
- Accompany and support our residents and students in their daily activities
- Record and share with families the progress made towards personal goals and aspirations
- Keep in touch with family and friends so residents can spend time together/chat
- Administer medication to residents after receiving relevant training.
Would you describe yourself as hard-working and enthusiastic? If you’re positive and passionate about empowering people with disabilities, then you’re exactly who we’re looking for. Whether it’s the big moments some of us take for granted or the small triumphs that others wouldn’t expect, together, we focus on what’s possible for every person we support and recognise that the connections we make today are the memories of tomorrow. It’s their life. You make sure they’re busy living it.
