Support Worker - Part-time - Ref: SOLODFY
Would you like to join my team? I am a young lady living at home with my family in Didcot, Oxfordshire. We are looking for additional team members to help support me in my home and out in the community. I enjoy socialising and going out, so it’s important that you can drive my vehicle.
I have complex health and support needs which include some clinical support, so I must have confident and competent staff who are good communicators and can use my equipment safely. I have support with all aspects of my daily living which includes personal care, feeding, and administering medicines through my Mickey Tube and moving and handling support including all transfers. I also require regular chest physio and suctioning. Whilst I need all this support, it’s also important to me that I remain as independent as possible and am given opportunities to choose and be involved in my decisions.
I have a person-centred support plan which will help my team to support me with my health and care needs effectively. I also have a good existing team which includes my mum as well as staff, some of whom have known me since I was little. It’s important to me that you get on with everyone as well as me and that you can have a laugh with us all.
I require female drivers who have a clean, full UK driving license so that they can drive my vehicle. The ideal candidate will be committed, reliable, flexible, and have a positive and caring nature with a cheerful personality and excellent communication skills. Experience in care and Learning Disabilities is desirable; however, this is a great opportunity for someone who is willing to learn and expand their knowledge in health and social care.

Training: An excellent training package is available to ensure you are trained to the highest standards. We offer continuous professional development.
Working as part of the Solo Support Services organisation will also mean that you are part of a supportive company that promotes person-centered practice. Training is paid, and employees are also able to join the Company Pension scheme after 3 months’ service, subject to the rules of the scheme, as well as our Cash Back Health Plan after the completion of a successful probation period. 5.6 weeks holiday is awarded per year as standard (pro rata for part-time positions).
