Care Assistant

Care Assistant   REF: 19-138-CA-T-WEB

The Cedar foundation deliver a range of services centred around the individual needs of each person and enabling people with disabilities to get the most out of life and to be fully included in their communities. Twisel Lodge provides residential care for up to eight people, who have Learning Disabilities and associated conditions. For many of our residents Twisel Lodge is their home however as part of the eight-person service, we also provide a ‘respite’ facility through which adults with learning disabilities can come and stay with us for a break. This service provides an opportunity for the main carers to get a break from caring duties and enables them to refresh and to be able to continue their caring role.

Due to rapid continual growth and development, a fantastic opportunity has arisen for a Care Assistant to join our team within the supported living service for individuals with learning disability and associated behaviours.
We are looking for confident, calm and compassionate people who can provide and deliver support.
