Where will I be working?

You will be working at one of our supported living services in Cheltenham – GL51 or GL52. We offer 24 hour support to people with LD (learning disabilities) and Autism. The level of care required will vary across our services. Some of the people we support have a profound and multiple learning disability and complex health needs others need assistance with daily activities, personal care, medication and mobility as well as daily living tasks.

We endeavour to create positive family relationships offering a good circle of support. There is a strong focus on supporting individuals'' lives in a person centred way which includes various activities, shopping, managing own budgets and cooking. We tailor our services to enable people to be as independent as possible.

Shift Patterns

This is a 24 hour service, therefore flexibility is essential. You will be working a range of shifts from 7:30 am to 2:30 pm and 2:00 pm to 9:30 pm, floating shifts during the day and some weekends.
