Are you a warm, caring individual with a passion for making a positive difference in someone’s life? Do you possess resilience, patience, and a positive attitude? Do you have experience in supporting individuals with a learning disability in their home and community?
If so, we’re looking for someone just like you to join our team as a Support Worker/Personal Assistant.
About the Role:
I am looking for a kind, caring, and experienced individual to support my son who is in his early 30’s. My son loves trips in the car and trips to the countryside. We would also like other activities to be brought into his schedule; he very much loves green spaces and autism-friendly spaces where sensory input is tailored to his needs.
He enjoys going for coffee and cake at the local café and visits to the seaside. He would benefit greatly from increased access to the community. He is also able to walk short distances and requires a wheelchair as needed for comfort and safety.
My son needs support with all aspects of his care, and you will learn to recognize his needs and support him accordingly. You will provide guidance, support, reassurance, and supervision as needed to ensure his safety within the home and in the community.
He can become overwhelmed by large crowds and certain sensory elements, which you will learn to identify in advance to reduce any triggers.
In this post, you will work as part of a team on a 2:1 basis and, on occasion, 1:1. You must be physically fit for this role.
At the time of starting their employment, the successful candidate must have permission to work in the U.K. as well as an up-to-date DBS.
