We are currently looking to grow our already established and dedicated team of support workers at our site near Preston.
The Bungalow provides specialist support for adult with Learning disabilities, Autistic Spectrum Conditions and medical concerns. The individuals may at times present with some challenging behaviours.
The service offers 24 hrs support and staff will be expected to provide the support needed to enable the people who use the service to reach their goals and to develop their self esteem and the skills they need to live as independently as possible. We recognise the importance of choice, but also how hard this can be for someone with autism and Asperger’s syndrome, so we seek to support people to understand what it is to make a choice and the consequences that follow.

The role of a Support Worker has never felt more rewarding, giving you the opportunity to see, first hand, the positive impact you can make.
Through making a difference to people’s lives we can help make a difference to yours. Our Careers Pathway enables you to build a successful career within Social Care and choose your own path within this rewarding sector, from Support Worker through to Management and beyond.
