This may involve undertaking a specialist role that requires specific training (e.g. autism services) or undertaking and administering personal care and/or medication. You may also hold a minimum Level 2 Care Certificate.

On occasion you may be required to work at our other day centres so the ability to be flexible along with being able to travel is an essential requirement.

Fixed:
As a ‘fixed’ worker, you’ll spend most of your time in the same location, which will likely be a fixed office or location where your role is performed. Typically, you’ll be based in the same location as the rest of your team, because you provide a particular service from that fixed location or need access to information there.
