structure and consistency

, and value self-care, make-up, music, and getting their hair done.



They love spending time in the community, going to the cinema, and eating out. Night-time can be challenging due to past trauma, so a calm and reassuring approach is essential.

Our shared goal

is to help them feel safe and enhance their quality of life through compassionate, person-centred care.

What You'll Do

in a community setting. Confidence in maintaining risk and using physical intervention where required. Confidence in utilising PBS standards within services. Strong personal values and ethical standards. Dedication, commitment and stability. A genuine desire to build lasting relationships and make a positive impact.

Why Choose TCS?
