Our Sandycroft home is set in a beautiful farmhouse on the rural outskirts of Warrington supporting five adults.

• Level 2 Adult Care Worker Qualification or equivalent is desirable.

• Previous experience in a care role Supporting Children/Adults with Learning difficulties/Autism and looking to advance in your chosen career.
