cleaning, so your role is very much central to their wellbeing. You will be
rewarded by their enthusiasm and chatty fun nature and be supported in your
role by a multi-disciplinary team. Our kitchen is fully equipped and very open,
adjoining the dining area, making it a lovely space to still converse with
members sitting at the table.
