Are you friendly, patient, and looking for a role where every shift brings meaningful connection and enjoyable experiences? We’re looking for a Community Support Companion to work alternative weekly hours, supporting an individual who loves arts and crafts, browsing charity shops, and relaxing with café trips.

This role offers flexible working days, with Week 1 at 10 hours (split into two 5-hour days) and Week 2 at 6 hours (two 3-hour days). You’ll be providing gentle community support and light domestic tidying while helping create positive, engaging outings. Your support will sometimes involve accompanying a wheelchair user on longer days out, and full training will be required to ensure you feel confident supporting someone who experiences seizures.

If you enjoy crafting, exploring small local treasures, and being part of someone’s independence and everyday joy, this could be the perfect role for you. Join us in making a real difference—one relaxed coffee, charity-shop find, or creative moment at a time.

Duties include:

- Housekeeping

- Shopping

- Transportation

- Able to both follow instructions and work on own initiative

- Hygienic, tidy and well organised

- Fit and healthy to undertake the required duties
