Support Worker – Part Time Ref: SOLODFY
Location: Didcot, Oxfordshire
Hi, 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. It’s important that I have confident and competent staff who are good communicators and can use my equipment safely. I require support with all aspects of my daily living, including:
1. Personal care
2. Feeding
3. Administering medicines through my Mickey Tube
4. Moving and handling support, including all transfers
5. Regular chest physio and suctioning
While I need this support, it’s also important that I remain as independent as possible and am given opportunities to choose and be involved in my decisions.
I have a person-centered support plan that will help my team support me with my health and care needs effectively. I also have a good existing team, including my mum and staff, some of whom have known me since I was little. It’s important to me that you get along with everyone and can have a laugh with us all.
Requirements:
I require female drivers who have a clean, full UK driving license so that you can drive my vehicle.
The ideal candidate will be committed, reliable, flexible, 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 willing to learn and expand their knowledge in health and social care.
