With a focus on maintaining and promoting independence, you will work in a person-centred way to provide support in all aspects of daily living, including cooking and preparing meals, personal care, administering medication and managing personal finances. You’ll also play a huge part in supporting them with their hobbies and interests too, including cooking, baking, dominoes, basketball, going for walks and trips to the local pub.

**Shift Patterns**

As we're dedicated to providing the best support, tailored to the needs of each individual the shifts usually fall between the hours of 0700-2100, sleepovers, waking nights and weekend and public holiday working on a rotational basis.

Sleepovers are not included in your contracted hours and you’ll receive an additional payment of £87 for every sleepover shift you work. Waking night shifts are paid at your normal hourly rate, plus an additional payment of £20 per night.
