Further details of times and days can be discussed with the family at the next stage of the application process. Hours can be flexible for the right candidates. There may be more hours available in the future if the support is successful.

Support is required so our client can go for a walk/to the park and spend time outside of his home. He also enjoys swimming and trampolining.
