• Following individual care plans, risk assessments and support plans
• Supporting individuals with personal care where required
• Supporting medication in accordance with company policies and individual care plans
• Accurately completing daily notes and other required documentation
• Maintaining professional boundaries and confidentiality
• Following safeguarding procedures and reporting any concerns appropriately
• Working positively as part of the Seabreeze team
