About this opportunity

Would you like to be part of a friendly, dedicated team and make a real difference to someone’s life?

Our Supported Living services empower vulnerable adults, including people with learning disabilities and complex care needs, to live as independently as possible in their own homes and communities. We provide personalised support that is tailored to each individual’s goals, interests and aspirations.

As a Community Support Worker, you will build meaningful relationships and provide both practical and emotional support to help people live fulfilling lives. Your role may include assisting with medication, providing personal care, supporting daily living activities, and encouraging individuals to develop and maintain their independence.
