Based in a hub of services in Winsford, you will have access to lots of support and training from experienced colleagues and managers. They will help you to achieve a rewarding and fulfilling career, supporting vulnerable adults to live happy and meaningful lives. You will help those you support to learn valuable life skills by doing things such as going shopping, helping them to cook their meals, or attend activities such as the cinema or bowling. Without you they would not be able to live an independent and enriched life and so you get to feel great about the care you provide and go home feeling that you have made a difference to someone’s life.

For most of our roles no experience is required. If you are a caring, compassionate and dedicated person who wants to help others, you have the skills we are looking for.
