Are you ready to take the lead and make a meaningful difference in people’s lives? We’re looking for an experienced and motivated Senior Support Worker to work within our supported living service in Retford, delivering and overseeing high-quality support for three individuals with learning disabilities and/or difficulties, autism, and complex needs.
