Location: Staines and surrounding areas

Encouragement to remain independent and make choices about their lives
Support with mobility and everyday activities
Helping clients stay connected with their family, friends and local community
You will support people who may require assistance due to illness, injury, mobility or memory difficulties, chronic conditions or other circumstances that make everyday activities more challenging.
