Employees should note, however, that they are employed by the TogetherTrust and may be required at some point to work at other appropriate Together Trust units.

The young adults in the care of the Together Trust will have a variety of complex needs for which they will need varying levels of support. In order to provide the required care the staff team will work shifts allocated by the Manager or delegated deputy, including weekends, evenings, and the young adult’s annual holidays. A number of administrative hours will be spent attending meetings, staff meetings, supervision, annual appraisals, training, and young adult’s reviews.

You will also support the young adults with their Health and Medical needs that may involve administering medication and using medical equipment such as ventilators. All staff would undergo the necessary training to enable them to do this.
