• Teaching and developing life skills

• Encouraging the people we support to access the community

• Accompanying on trips and leisure activities

• Dealing with some behaviours that challenge

• Personal care

• Taking an interest in the lives of the people we support

What you get from us?

• Access to free occupational health, physiotherapy, counselling and advice services

• Fully paid training and access to nationally recognised qualifications

• Sick Pay

• Access to an online shopping platform with discounts from over 3,500 retailers
