Are you an experienced Support Worker with a passion for making a difference in a supported living environment? If this sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you!
-
About the people we support:
We have 5 young men who love getting out and having fun! They especially love going out on their bikes but also enjoy playing badminton, swimming, going to the cinema (drama), hitting the gym and attending college during term time.
They have autism and learning disabilities and require support to increase their independent living skills in a supported living setting. A positive support worker that is active, enthusiastic and shares their interests would be a wonderful match.
What will I be doing?
- You will be supporting the young men to live their lives how they choose, to be themselves, and to achieve their goals
- You will be supporting the gentlemen with their personal care (varying degrees of independence), meal preparation, medication administration, budgeting, cooking, cleaning, and laundry
- The young men can experience behaviours of distress at times, and whilst person-centred training will be provided, you will need to have some previous experience supporting people with complex behavioural needs to be a good match for their team
- Some of the young men also require support with their mobility and one gentleman is a wheelchair user - training will be provided
- The young men have their own car to make travelling more comfortable and enjoyable for them, so it's essential that you have a full UK driving licence
