Communication Support Worker

Description

Communication Support Worker Do you have C2 Proficiency in English? (CEFR Common European Framework of Reference for Languages). The role would suit someone with a love of literature, and either a Degree or A-Level in a relevant subject.

You will have excellent written and spoken English at minimum of B2 Level (CEFR), to provide communication support, in a range of settings, both inside and outside the home.
