Job description
National Star’s supported living accommodation in Malvern is the cosy, long-term home for four men with learning disabilities. The young adults we support are currently looking for a new part-time care and support worker to join us.
As one of our care and support workers you will be a key member of our team of 12 staff, providing the highest standards of personalised care to enable residents to enjoy their hobbies and interests and realise their aspirations.

It's their life you make sure they are busy living it.
In this role, you will work an average of 17.5 hours a week, typically 21 hours on week one and 14 hours during week two, to include alternate weekends. However we may ask for some flexibility to help to cover other shifts if required.
