Since the early days, we’ve grown to provide many innovative and bespoke care services to thousands of people across England and Scotland. We want to provide support based on the principles of choice, dignity and respect. This resonates in our vision of ‘Your Life, Your Choice’ and our strategy ‘Best Lives Possible’.
We have strong values and we’re proud to pioneer new ways of delivering social care to stand out in our sector. In the past two years, we have won or made the shortlist for over national and regional awards!
We are focused on our people. Our Support Workers are dedicated and passionate about going ‘the extra mile’ for the people we support and in return, we go the extra mile for them by investing in pay, recognition, wellbeing and continued professional and personal development. We will provide you with all the training, support and personal protective equipment you need in your role and will help you develop, should you decide you want to develop your career with us. Who you’ll be supporting & more about the role:
We are hoping to find a FEMALE support worker for a small team to assist 'J' who has recently moved in to her own purpose built flat.
'J' is loving life in her own home, making choices and doing things for herself for the first time! She is really looking forward to meeting you! She needs your help and support with some personal care and much more! 'J' wants your support to enable her to enjoy all of her interests and hobbies. She likes to go out for lunch or shopping and has her own adapted car, that if you can drive would be a great advantage! You will need to have held a full UK Driving Licence for at least 1 year.
'J' also loves to travel, in this country, and abroad. She would love to go to America! 'J' also likes a bit of a flutter on the horses and playing bingo too. She loves Disney and Music, especially from the 80's, and 'J' loves to have a fun! She has a great sense of humour!
'J' has a brain injury and mobilises with a wheelchair, so some specialist paid training will be required. We will provide all of the support and training you will need through a mix of online and face to face development. You can rely on us to be there for you throughout your journey, as we want you to be confident and successful in your new role!This post is exempt from the Equality Act (Schedule 9, Part 1) which provides for the application of a genuine occupational requirement.
