Northolt, United Kingdom Anchor Full time

**Hours**: 36

**About the role**

As a Support Assistant you will help older people to live independently in the community, actively networking with other agencies to support a person-centred approach and service.

We are proud to have an LGBT+ group for our residents, and also Disability, LGBT+ and race and ethnicity colleague networks. These work to celebrate diversity, address concerns, review policy and practice and empower their members.
