About Manor Crescent
Manor Crescent is a learning disabilities service within Glenholme Specialist Healthcare, providing a supportive and welcoming environment for people living with learning disabilities.
Located on a quiet residential street in Byfleet, West Byfleet, Manor Crescent is ideally situated close to local shops, restaurants and community facilities. The service also benefits from excellent transport links, including direct bus routes into Woking, Weybridge and Cobham.
This accessible location provides opportunities for the people we support to become more involved in their local community, take part in activities and maintain positive connections with the wider area.
At Manor Crescent, the focus is on supporting each individual as a person. You will get to know the people you support, understand their preferences and routines, and help them make choices about their daily lives.
As a Support Worker, you will play an important role in helping residents build confidence, develop independent living skills and take part in activities that are meaningful to them.
No two days will necessarily be the same. You could be supporting someone with their daily routine, preparing a meal together, helping with personal care, supporting medication, going swimming or accompanying someone into the community.
