Discovery are currently looking for confident, outgoing Support Workers to support Carol and Helen to live their lives independently.

Helen loves going out and about, she has a passion for music and loves a good tribute act! She enjoys shopping - especially for her beautiful home and adores dogs - maybe you have one that you could walk together? The most important thing for Helen is that you are proactive and plan things to do together.

Carol loves a good dance, whether that be at home, at the shops or at the local disco, get some music on and get those dancing shoes out! Carol is hilarious and will have you in stitches - once she trusts you, it does take time to build up that trust and relationship but once you do you'll have a friend for life.

It is important to know that both ladies are very independent and know what they want from life, they just need someone there to occasionally help them along the way. If you think you could be the person Helen or Carol have been looking for then we want to hear from you!

Their support hours are, Helen - 9am - 1pm & 7pm - 10pm plus you will sleep over, Carol has 6 hours support throughout the day. So if you are looking for long days it could be that you support Carol between your shifts with Helen.
