At Cornerstone, we don't recruit on experience and qualifications; we're more interested in what you as a person will bring to our team! We'll pay you for your training and give you all the practical skills you'll need to build an amazing career within the Health & Social Care sector. We'll even fund your SVQ qualification too!
The Role
You'll become part of one of our friendly and dedicated teams who support individuals with physical and/or learning disabilities across two services. The great thing about this job is no two days are ever the same!!

You’ll take an active role in the planning and delivery of person-centred care and be supportive and encourage the people we support to express their wishes and views.
