What you’ll be doing:

This is a brand-new service for Cartrefi, offering you the chance to join us at a pivotal and exciting stage. You’ll play a key role in helping shape and build this new care and support service from the ground up. As the service evolves, there will be plenty of opportunities for your own development and growth as we discover together what delivers the best outcomes.

You’ll be supporting three individuals in their own home, each with different needs and personalities. This includes supporting one person who experiences OCD and another who requires some personal care. All three individuals have learning disabilities, and your role will be to help them live as independently as possible—supporting their choices in daily life, such as what to eat, wear, or do, as well as in bigger decisions like managing their money, planning holidays, or making their home feel just right for them.

Your goal is to make ‘everyday remarkable’ through enhancing well-being and focusing on the small, meaningful moments that bring joy and purpose. By offering this kind of person-centred support every day, this is truly a rewarding and fun role for the right person.
