- Encouraging independence and choice
- Supporting personal care and daily routines
- Preparing meals and supporting household tasks
- Administering medication safely (training provided)
- Supporting communication in ways that suit each individual
- Joining in with activities and community outings
- Maintaining routines and providing consistent, structured support
You’ll help create a positive and supportive environment where each person can thrive.
