Could you give people their confidence back after an illness? If so, we’d love to hear from you - even if you haven’t considered working in Social Care before.
At Norfolk First Response, we help people get back on their feet or regain skills they have lost after an illness or hospital stay, giving them support for up to 6-weeks in their own homes. We help them with daily living activities such as washing, dressing, meal and drink preparation or making sure they take their medication and our Support Workers (Reablement) are a key part of that.
