You will work closely with family members, other professionals and agencies to provide a co-ordinated personalised service which meets the identified needs of individuals, promotes their recovery and maintains their quality of life.

We are looking to recruit people who enjoy a challenging and rewarding job and who wish to develop through the training packages that we offer. Car driver essential – you will be paid for contracted hours and not per visit and will receive a mileage allowance for the use of your own vehicle.
