Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
We are looking for dynamic and creative individuals who really want to make a difference to people's lives. You will work with people of any age from 17 1/2 years upwards, and across all service areas. You will work with people for up to 12 weeks, on goals that are important to the person. This might be anything from teaching people to use public transport or finding social activities in the community, or learning to cook. It is hugely varied and satisfying work.
Working alongside a forward-thinking multidisciplinary team, and with support from our Enablement Managers, you will contribute to a collaborative working environment where best outcomes for each person is at the heart. You will work with people of all ages, with a wide variety of health concerns using a strengths-based approach to understand and support people to achieve the goals that are meaningful to them.

Due to the nature of the work and the areas that we cover, a driving licence and access to a vehicle is essential for this role (unless disability precludes this). You will spend most of your week working out in the community or in people's homes.
We would welcome applications from anyone who has the relevant experience and wishes to embark on a career in social care.
