Female Support Worker - Phew Motherwell

About the Service

Our 24-hour housing support service in Motherwell provides exceptional, person-centred support to two individuals living in their own homes. Both individuals are primarily deafblind and have complex support needs. Communication is tailored to each person's individual preferences, with speech being just one of many ways they communicate.

A shared service vehicle is provided for outings and appointments, therefore a full UK driving licence is essential.
