As a member of our operations team, you will be responsible for supporting people with learning disabilities and autism to have a great life. You will not just care for them; you will support them to achieve their goals, and that can bring enormous job satisfaction.
Dimensions are supporting one lady aged in her 30's to live independently in her bungalow.
