The ladies are sociable, they enjoy accessing the community and love seeing their families who live nearby, including 2 very loveable pet dogs.

The ladies have profound multi learning disabilities and complex health needs, but this does not hold them back. Their beautiful new bungalow is modern, light and fully accessible; the ladies also have their own hydrotherapy pool. This environment is key to them living life to the full but it does not stop there.

The ladies use a broad selection of communication technologies including eye gaze, head switch and innovative music applications, the successful candidates will be trained on all equipment.

You will be supported by the provisions Assistant Nurse Manager and supervised by the Clinical Lead to ensure that a good quality, safe and effective service is delivered.

Drivers are desirable as both ladies have their own mobility vehicles. There are also two parking spaces available for care staff vehicles.

The service is also on the 94 and 237 bus routes.

Choice Support and the families are looking for individuals who are caring, show initiative and can be creative in order to provide a stimulating home environment. Additional requirements are flexibility with working hours, as the service is 24/7 offering long, short and night working opportunities.

The provision offers a rare chance to be involved in the beginnings of a bespoke service where an individual can develop their skills and build a successful career pathway in care.
