- You will help the people we support to shop for things they wish to buy including their clothes and food, and to prepare their meals as required.
- Helping, encouraging, supporting, and teaching the people we support to do their housework, including cleaning and laundry.
- Supporting, encouraging, and teaching people to maintain personal and intimate care as required.

Be prepared to work flexibly. This could include working some weekends, waking nights, sleepins and bank holidays. This will be discussed with you during the interview process.

The current pay rate of £10.71 per hour will be increasing to £11 per hour from 1st September.
