We provide support on a 24/7 basis with a staffing ratio of 2:1 support. You will be expected to support on a rotational basis working 12-hour shifts, including every other weekend and sleep-in duties.

As a key team player, your responsibilities will include:
* Providing person-centred support.
* Working with the person to help identify potential triggers that may lead to signs of mental health decline and behaviours of concern.
* Implementing Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) strategies to improve quality of life and reduce behaviours of concern.
* Collaborating with the person to create and implement tailored support plans.
* Assisting the person to develop essential life skills such as cooking, personal hygiene, budgeting, and household management.
* Supporting with medication, medical appointments, and maintaining good quality health and well-being.
* Supporting community activities and enabling the person to engage in social events, access local services, and build meaningful relationships.
* Maintaining accurate and comprehensive care records, documenting progress, incidents, and outcomes as required.
* Working closely with colleagues, the family, external professionals, and other agencies to ensure holistic care for the person.
