Complex Community Carer – Penryn
Make a real difference in a role that truly matters.
We are looking for compassionate, resilient carers to support a young woman with complex and high-risk mental health needs to live a full and meaningful life. This is a challenging and emotionally demanding role, but also a highly rewarding one.
You’ll be supporting her to enjoy life; this can include water-based activities, spa days, festivals, and getting out into the community, as well as providing consistent support at home.
You will never be working alone as this is a double-handed package, meaning you’ll always be supported by another carer on shift.
