You'll enable people to enjoy their lives, joining in with their favourite pastimes and hobbies, providing care in a sensitive way. This is an opportunity to come into someone's life and be a positive influence on it, ensuring they can live as independently as possible in a residential setting.

There can sometimes also be behaviours that challenge but you will be given full training and support from day one.
