We have a fantastic opportunity for a Support Worker to join our Supported Living Service based in Linthorpe on a Part time permanent, basis (30 hours per week).
You will be working in our supported living scheme supporting people both in the home and in the community. You will also need to be able to promote positive behaviour.
