What is the role?  

At our residential care home in Aberavon, we pride ourselves on delivering tailored care that respects the individuality of each resident.

As a Care Worker, you’ll take a person-centred approach, supporting our residents to live life to the fullest. Your role is all about promoting independence, enhancing everyday skills, providing emotional and personal care, and—most importantly—bringing joy to each day.
