Your new company

Your new role

Within this highly rewarding role you will be at the forefront, working in and around peoples homes whilst making a significant positive impact on their lives.

You will support members of the respective teams, including carrying out tasks such as screening referrals; visiting people in their homes to complete assessments and review aids and adaptations; recommending equipment and minor/major adaptations; providing advice and, where appropriate, liaising with other professionals and organisations.
