Our Without Walls service needs to support men and women with learning disabilities, some of whom require personal care. For this reason we require female applicants only for this post.
Essential:
- Full UK Driving licence and the ability to complete MIDAS training in order to drive a work vehicle

Overall Purpose: To work within a small specialist team, providing high quality 2:1 care and support to service users in the community, in accordance with each support plan and comprehensive risk assessment.

This role requires someone who fully understands how and why this type of work is demanding and different, and who has the skills and commitment to work in a professional team focused on understanding and reducing complex and challenging behaviour.
