  • A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle

  Where you will be working:

  Location: Cumbria, Ann St, Kendal LA9 6AA

  Our Kendal sites provide enhanced levels of support which allows people with continuing challenging behaviour and high support needs to be cared for in the least restrictive setting possible, but within a service which is robust and structured enough to meet their ongoing needs and risks.

  The service ensures people lead positive and meaningful everyday lives, where they have choice and control, accessing mainstream services and facilities, engaging in work and training, in leisure opportunities, hobbies and areas of personal interest.

  Residents are encouraged to be as independent as possible with the long-term aim of people moving onto a more independent living setting.

  What you will get:

  • Annual salary of £25,246 (Pro Rata)

• About the company

  National Health Service (NHS) is the umbrella term for the publicly-funded healthcare systems of the United Kingdom (UK). The founding principles were that services should be comprehensive, universal and free at the point of delivery—a health service based on clinical need, not ability to pay. Each service provides a comprehensive range of health services, free at the point of use for people ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom apart from dental treatment and optical care.
