Are you an experienced Support Worker with a passion for making a difference? If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you!
------------------------------------------------
Who will I be supporting?
A young lady in her early 30s who has a learning disability, a personality disorder and a forensic history
She left hospital last year after a long stay and is now settling into her lovely new supported living home
She’s a chatty lady who likes to socialise
She owns her own cat so you must be comfortable being around cats.
She requires 2:1 support at all times so you will be working alongside a colleague
She has a wide range of interests and loves a variety of activities so you must be confident supporting her in anything she might choose to do.
What will I be doing?
You will be supporting this lady to be herself and achieve her goals whilst managing her risk in the community
She is independent when it comes to her personal care but appreciates some friendly reminders and encouragement
She appreciates prompting/active support with her meal preparation, medication, grocery shopping and household tasks including cooking, cleaning and laundry
She will soon be getting her very own Motability car so it is desirable that you have a Full, clean, UK License.
You will need a sound understanding of risk management to maintain appropriate structures and boundaries that will enable you to support this young lady to reach her goals whilst living safely in the community
Specialised positive behaviour support and forensic training will be provided but it’s essential that you’ve supported people with complex behavioural, emotional and/or mental health needs previously.
