FULL JOB DESCRIPTION
At Cocklebury Farmhouse our mission is to empower people to live enjoyable and fulfilling lives. Our commitment to this is consistent for the people within our care, the people within our staff team, and the people within our local community.
This is achieved by providing the support to enable individuals the chance to explore who they are in a safe and constructive way, to live active and engaging lives, as well as to interact and support our local community.
Our vibrant care team is central to attaining this high level of care. Their enthusiasm and commitment create a family atmosphere between the staff and residents that we are all proud of. In turn we aim to support the care team to make a difference in a culture where their opinion matters.
We have 3 small independently owned homes that provide accommodation and care for individuals who have a learning disability and behaviors that can challenge them. Many of the individuals we support are autistic.
The Opportunity
We are searching for an energetic person to join our care team who can help make a difference in people’s lives.

Qualifications and Skills
Prior experience is not a requirement, as full training will be provided.
You need to have a proactive and energetic attitude. A lot of the daily duties include accompanying residents on activities outside of the home.
We succeed by promoting an active and engaging lifestyle to our residents. We have 5 vehicles over 3 homes and these are used daily to attend places of interest and occupational pursuits. A full clean driving license is therefore preferred.
What We Offer You
