• Care and support work
• Health and social care
• Residential care
• Youth work
• Nursery or childcare
• Sports coaching
• Community support
• Customer-facing roles where patience, empathy, and communication are key

If you're compassionate, resilient, eager to learn, and passionate about supporting others, we'd love to hear from you. Full training and ongoing support will be provided.

What You'll Need

• A positive, caring, and proactive attitude.
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
• A genuine passion for supporting young people with additional needs.
