This is a busy, varied and sociable service, where you'll provide a mix of 1:1 and shared (core) support, tailoring your approach to meet each individual's unique needs.

No two days are the same - this is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys variety, teamwork and creating meaningful experiences.

They enjoy:

• Swimming and bowling
• Shopping trips and community outings
• Movies, superheroes and music
• Rearranging their rooms and making choices about their environment
• BBQs, social gatherings and group activities
• Voluntary work and structured weekly routines

Many individuals have communication needs and thrive with support workers who are patient, engaging and attentive.

What you will be doing

Your role will be varied and rewarding, including:

• Supporting daily routines and independence
• Providing personal care (mainly prompting and light support)
• Supporting mobility needs (including wheelchair use for one person)
• Preparing meals and supporting healthy routines

• Sleep-in: 11:00pm - 7:00am (£50 paid to sleep)

Rotas are provided in advance to support work-life balance.

• Patient, calm and understanding
• A strong team player who enjoys working in a busy environment
• Flexible and adaptable to different individuals and routines
• Able to follow clear guidance and personalise support
• Friendly, engaging and enjoy social interaction
• Confident supporting people with communication needs
• A driver (auto-friendly)

Experience is ideal, but not essential - full training will be provided.
