Important information for applicants: please note, this position is not suitable for anyone who is looking to obtain sponsorship for a Skilled Worker Visa or currently holds a Skilled Worker Visa and is looking to switch sponsorship to a new employer.
This is due to the fact the salary rate for this position does not meet the UKVI’s current minimum annual salary threshold requirements for sponsorship. If you are resident in the UK and do not require sponsorship, we would love to hear from you!
This role is also not suitable for anyone on a student visa due to the requirement to complete sleep-ins.

What we're looking for:
· A genuine passion for supporting others.
· Excellent communication skills and the ability to build meaningful relationships.
· Flexibility to work various shifts, including evenings, weekends, and holidays.
· A positive and empathetic attitude towards individuals with learning disabilities.
All our services are 24hr care. We prepare the rotas at least 4 weeks in advance so you can still plan your personal and social life!
