Job Advert Role Description
We are looking for Support Workers to work Days or Nights.
We are currently looking to grow our already established and dedicated team of support workers at Yew Tree Lodge in Reading , part of Priory Adult Care.
Yew Tree Lodge is a residential home located in Reading, Berkshire. We offer 24-hour support and rehabilitation to adults, with severe and enduring mental health needs. We can provide respite services for the local area, assist people to step down to us from hospital, and provide the specialist care needed to avoid further hospital admissions.

- Brilliant, ongoing training to help you achieve more
- Support of an experienced and friendly team of colleagues
