  • Accurately record all work done.

  • Have strong communication skills with the ability to form and maintain effective working relationships with all partners.
  • Have commitment to supporting people to achieve the best outcomes as they work towards independence.
  • Have the capability to carry out administrative tasks alongside practical support work, and manage and mitigate risk.
  • Have the ability to work autonomously as well as part a team.
