We would like to find someone who can develop a trusting relationship with him, based primarily in the family home to begin with.

  • The role would come with comprehensive training, but we are looking for someone who has experience working in this sector. Relevant NVQ qualifications are desirable.
  • A positive and patient demeanour.
  • A genuine desire to spend time with a person and assist with their needs and aspirations.
