Working with individuals who have lived experience of learning disabilities, you will support them to live the lives they want and promote independence and social inclusion. And it can include all manner of tasks: from cleaning and cooking, and helping with shopping and finances; to days out, traveling, hobbies and crafts.

It’s a challenging role, and you’ll need patience, communication skills, and the ability to advocate for those in your care. But it’s also extremely rewarding, and you’ll be making a real difference to people’s lives.
