Support Workers (Darlington)

At Lindisfarne we provide 24-hour care and support people with physical disabilities. Our aim is to make sure this is not just a place to live but is a home, and the people living here are encouraged and enabled to make their own choices and decisions in as many aspects of their lives as they can and wish to. The charity is seeking bank and part-time Support Workers to work day and night shifts, to assist our existing team in providing 24-hour care and support to adults with learning and physical disabilities. The role of the Support Worker is to enable each person using the service to lead a fulfilling and independent life according to individual needs and choices.
