About the Role

You will be supporting a young lady living with a brain injury who enjoys getting out and about, including beach visits, boating, exploring new places and spending time with friends.

• Supporting morning routines and personal care
• Heading out for a trip to the beach or local area
• Assisting with meals and daily activities
• Spending time socialising or enjoying hobbies
• Supporting evening routines and settling for the night
• Completing clear handovers with the team

This is a role where you can see the difference you make every day.

• Full training, including complex care skills
• Ongoing support from a dedicated local team
