About The Role
Always motivated to achieve high standards of care and support, our Community Support Worker is the face-to-face contact for People we support, either in their home or assisting them to access their local Community. You will be a great communicator and able to liaise directly with Care professionals and able to accompany People we support to professionals meetings. Your role will have a positive influence on the People we support and assist them in achieving their personal goals.
