About you


Whilst previous experience isn't required you will need to share our REACH values and be a person with a 'can-do' attitude.

You will have an ability to develop positive relationships with people and be passionate in supporting people to reach their potential.

You'll want to make a positive difference to people's lives and take pride in delivering high quality support.

You'll have a belief that people have a right to control and define their own lives regardless of disability and see your role as enabling them to do this by supporting them to engage in a wide range of activities and opportunities both within our centres and as members of the wider community.

No one will meet every single desired qualification. If your experience looks a little different from what we're saying and you think you can bring value to the role, we'd love to learn more about you

About the role


You will be working alongside a team of staff in one of our Learning Disability Day Service bases in Bury, with usual hours of work between 9am and 4pm on Monday to Friday on a casual basis, covering for holidays and sickness, the role is flexible, so you can decide when you work.

- people with personal care
