Mulberry Court are recruiting!
Mulberry Court is a residential service in Gillingham, Dorset. We require a driver for this role to assist with transporting the residents of the home. As a member of the support team, you will work with people who have varying degrees of disabilities to promote independence and choice through meaningful activities and experiences. We enable the individuals we support to achieve their goals and aspirations while living as independently as possible.
The individuals we support go on day trips to lots of different places, such as Ascot, Longleat and Monkey World. They’re situated right next to a garden centre and take regular trips to their café for lunch! They love gardening, arts and crafts and competitive games and sports, as well as a barbecue! Music is so important to many of the people we support, and we have lots of in-house discos with karaoke as well as trips to music festivals and concerts!
We would describe the nature of our work as more than just a job, as it has a complete family feel where everyone is supported. We feel we are truly making a positive impact and difference to the lives of the individuals we support. If you think you can help the individuals we support live their best lives, then apply today!
