Assistant Service Manager / Senior Support Worker

We are assisting a national supported living organisation to recruitment an Assistant Service Manager for their Supported Living site in Rainham (Kent).

Our team are supporting a male adult with learning disabilities, who enjoys a variety of activities at home and in the community, including swimming, walking, bowling, meals out and drinks at the local pub and much more. He works closely with his team to engage in as much of his daily life as possible. He can find some things a challenge, which is sometimes reflected in his behaviour, and also has PICA so needs his environment to reflect his safety needs.
