Care workers required to join our friendly team within a family run a 6/7\-bedroom residential care home in Telford providing support to service users with a primary diagnosis of Learning Disabilities. Previous care experience is preferred but not essential as full training will be provided. However, what is essential is excellent communications skills, a desire to provide outstanding care, an empathetic nature, and a hard\-working approach.
