Vacancies

Details: We have one vacancy in this new supported living service located in the beautiful village of Cranborne, Dorset. Cecil Court provides 24/7 care and support for eight people, according to their individual needs.

This longstanding senior management and staff team has a high rate of success in supporting people with complex needs to lead active, meaningful and fulfilled lives whilst, at the same time, reducing behaviours which may have once posed a challenge. This has been achieved through a consistent, positive and proactive approach from staff and continual review of behavioural support plans.
