Our aspirations are to receive an ‘outstanding’ rating with the CQC, and we are looking for someone who shares our values, ambitions, and vision.

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

**What you'll bring**:

- 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.
