Care Assistant

The team at Millport specialises in caring for adults with varied needs, including learning disabilities, mental health needs, autism spectrum disorder, cerebral palsy and downs syndrome. The care is so specialist that people come from far and wide.

The care centre could not be in a more picture-perfect location in North Ayrshire, 100m from the beautiful beach, with views across the sea. The team spends a lot of time taking the residents to places across the island, with plenty of picnics on the beach. There is a nearby community garden in the grounds of the garrison, where the home has raised beds which the residents take immense pride in maintaining. There is also a gym and coffee shops. With two minibuses at Millport, the residents are never short of places to visit and things to do.
