In this role, you’ll actively support three young gentlemen in making their own choices and setting their own goals — whether it’s everyday decisions like what to wear, eat, or do, or something bigger such as where to live. You will help them maintain their active lifestyles, manage their finances, and go on holiday. As a trusted Support Worker, you'll empower people to follow through on these choices and to participate in structured activities that build confidence and develop new skills.
