The garden is another area of activity and includes a trampoline, football nets, dining area as well as flower beds and vegetable patch.

Previous care experience is not essentialand full training will be provided. You will receive ongoing support and mentoring from our friendly residential and clinical team which includes Reflective Practice, 1:1 supervisions and Group Staff support.
