    What we're looking for:

    ·      A genuine passion for supporting others.

    ·      Excellent communication skills and the ability to build meaningful relationships.

    ·      Flexibility to work various shifts, including evenings, weekends, and holidays.

    ·      A positive and empathetic attitude towards individuals with learning disabilities.
