Each person has their own unique personality and interests:

• One lady is fiercely independent and enjoys her own space
• Another is outgoing and sociable, loves shopping and getting out and about
• The gentleman enjoys Doctor Who, routines, and engaging with familiar faces

They thrive with support that is consistent, respectful, and tailored to their individual needs. A good sense of humour and patience go a long way in this role.

You’ll be providing 1:1 support and helping each person live life to the fullest. Responsibilities include:

• Supporting with personal care
• Assisting with meal preparation and medication administration
• Encouraging independence and routine

• Sleep-In Shifts: 10:00pm – 7:00am

Rotas are planned in advance to support a healthy work-life balance.

What We’re Looking For

• Reliable and patient, with a calm and empathetic approach
• Detail-oriented, especially around routines and consistency
