About the role
We are recruiting for 2 services (bungalows) in close proximity in Ystrad Mynach.

Each has their own Motability vehicle, and enjoys a mixture of solo and shared activities. While they’re quite independent, they value support with medication, meal prep, and day-to-day tasks like housekeeping and health & safety checks. Strong family connections are a key part of their lives.
In the other bungalow, we support one lady and one gentleman (both 60s–70s). The gentleman is a music and film enthusiast who enjoys community outings, charity shopping, and weekend visits with his sister.
