The gentlemen who are aged in their 50’s and the lady who is in her 40's, and have learning disabilities, would like to meet a part-time or full time Support Worker who would like to get involved in activities such as:
- Ensuring two of the people we support get to and from day centre 3 times a week
- Listening to music
- Day trips out to museums and other places of interest (we recently went to the tank museum)
- Walks down at Hengistbury Head and along the local beaches
- Meals out at local pubs and restaurants
- Swimming at Pelhams Leisure Centre
