About you

Whilst previous experience isn't required you will need to share our REACH values and be a person with a 'can-do' attitude.

You will have an ability to develop positive relationships with people and be passionate in supporting people to reach their potential.

You'll want to make a positive difference to people's lives and take pride in delivering high quality support.

You'll have a belief that people have a right to control and define their own lives regardless of disability and see your role as enabling them to do this by supporting them to engage in a wide range of activities and opportunities both within our centres and as members of the wider community.

No one will meet every single desired qualification. If your experience looks a little different from what we're saying and you think you can bring value to the role, we'd love to learn more about you
