Looking for a rewarding new job where you can really make a difference? Join our friendly, supportive team and help a fun loving, outgoing young woman to live her best life. Don't have experience? Don't worry! If you're caring, compassionate and willing to learn, we'll provide all the training and support you need.

• Support daily routines (cooking, household tasks and personal care)
• Get involved in activities like swimming, horse riding, arts & crafts, people watching and pipes and drums

• Organised and confident using basic computer systems
