  • Willingness to learn and work towards a Health and Social Care qualification
  • Confidence providing personal support when it's needed
  • Flexibility to work evenings, weekends, waking and sleep-in shifts
  • Experience in social care is welcome but not essential; your attitude and values matter most

  • A role with real impact, where your work empowers others.
  • A warm, supportive, and inclusive team culture.
