Graig Y Bedw is a warm, supportive home set in a peaceful community, supporting adults with a range of needs including learning disabilities, mental health needs, and autism.

- Confident communicators with a positive, can-do approach
- Flexible to work a rota including days, evenings, weekends, and waking nights
- Hold a full UK driving licence (essential due to needs of our individuals)
