Job description
We are looking for a bubbly and positive person to join our wonderful team and provide support to up to 5 people in the Leicester area. Every work day is different due to the needs and likes of the people supported who really enjoy exploring new areas or taking part in new activities (especially going out to eat or attending their local disco). The pet guinea pig takes centre stage in this household, so an animal lover would be a great asset.
Split into separate flats, support is provided in each individuals homes however there is a communal kitchen and lounge area where meals and socialising takes place.
