About The Role
We are recruiting for two bungalow services in close proximity in Ystrad Mynach. In one bungalow, we support four independent and active ladies (30s–70s) who enjoy engaging in their local community, cinema trips, walks, coffee outings, or attending clubs. Each has their own Motability vehicle and enjoys a mixture of solo and shared activities. While they’re independent, they value support with medication, meal prep, and day‑to‑day tasks like housekeeping and health & safety checks. Strong family connections are a key part of their lives. In the other bungalow, we support one lady and one gentleman (both 60s–70s). The gentleman is a music and film enthusiast who enjoys community outings, charity shopping, and weekend visits with his sister.
