About Person We Support:

We have a social lady in her 60’s who loves drives out in her own vehicle, meals out, seeing friends and family and visiting new placed such as museums or coastal areas.

She has a learning disability, a physical disability and need our help to support them in a supported living home.
You will also need to provide emotional reassurance when experiencing behaviours of distress – full positive behaviour support training is provided but previous experience is essential.
A chatty, outgoing support worker with a good sense of humour would be a wonderful match.

What will I be doing?

You will be supporting them to live their lives how they choose, to be themselves, and to achieve their goals
You will be supporting with personal care, meal preparation, medication administration, budgeting, cooking, cleaning and laundry.
