If you're looking for a rewarding role where every day brings new opportunities to support people to live independently, build confidence and enjoy meaningful experiences, we'd love to hear from you.

About the role

We're looking for a caring, reliable and enthusiastic Support Worker to join our friendly team in Winnersh (RG41), supporting three people (two gentlemen and one lady) with learning disabilities, autism and epilepsy.

The people we support enjoy:

• Theatre visits and activity clubs
• Swimming and physical activities
• Music festivals, bowling and seaside trips
• Community outings and social events
• Spending time with friends, family and support staff

All three people use wheelchairs and have individual support needs. One gentleman also requires additional support due to partial sight loss, epilepsy and behaviours of distress. You'll play an important role in helping everyone feel safe, valued and empowered to live life on their own terms.

Support includes:

• Personal care delivered with dignity and respect
• Community access and social activities
• Mobility support and wheelchair assistance
• Meal preparation and supporting dietary needs
• Medication administration
• Shopping, appointments and household tasks
• Emotional support and Positive Behaviour Support approaches
• Encouraging independence, confidence and choice

Shifts:

• 7:00am – 3:00pm
