Sessions cover health and well-being, baking, art and creativity, multimedia, gardening, photography, nature and wildlife, and music.

Responsibilities may include community support, skill development, daily living assistance, and personal care. A comprehensive training programme is offered to help you with your position, including medicine, health and safety, safeguarding, and moving and handling instruction.
