You will assist customers with their personal care needs and budgeting, as well as support with menu planning, shopping, cooking and keeping their home clean and tidy. You will help customers to understand their tenancy agreement, as well as offering support with decorating, simple DIY and home maintenance.
Care and support also covers health and wellbeing, with our team supporting customers to make and attend appointments with health care professionals, with safety and security, and with establishing and maintaining relationships with friends and family.
