02 February 2024

There are lots of misconceptions around care, with the assumption that the career is always remaining in the home and supporting the children and young people there. This is obviously a key aspect of it and it can be challenging, but there is so much more to working in care at WG!

A Trip to the Cinema

Shopping Trip

It could be a shopping centre or the local shops, you are there to ensure they are enjoying day to day experiences whilst safe and happy.
