We are looking for people who are passionate about providing outstanding care quality for adults with learning disabilities.

**What you'll bring**:

- be enthusiastic about working with people with learning disabilities and /or autism
- be caring, sensitive and patient while supporting people to be as independent as possible.
- have good communication and interpersonal skills,
- good ICT skills
- the ability to relate positively to the people we support
- a positive outlook on life.
- the ability to manage potential and actual aggression in a sensitive way
- willing and physically able to support people with personal and intimate care needs and able to undertake manual handling tasks.
