I am an 18-year-old male who sustained a brain injury as a baby. I am a wheelchair user with complex behavioural, cognitive, and physical needs.
I require assistance with personal care and transfers, but my physiotherapy and current Support Workers are helping me to get stronger and learn new skills. I would like support for my transition to a new adult placement three days a week, including help with food preparation after being collected and taken home.
Additionally, I would appreciate support for two days a week to access community facilities, experience social and leisure activities, engage in therapy, and further develop my life skills. I enjoy being active, playing games (especially bingo), singing karaoke, and anything food-related. I love being outdoors and would like to try bowling, eating out, and similar activities. Although I need a lot of support, I strive to be as independent as possible and enjoy assisting with domestic tasks.
To join me as a Support Worker/Therapy Assistant, you will:
* Be able to drive and have access to a car.
* Be willing to drive my van.
* Have experience working with young adults.
* Enjoy being part of a multidisciplinary team.
This role would be an excellent opportunity for a therapy student or psychology graduate.
A full induction and training will be provided. This role is subject to an Enhanced level DBS check.
Top Reasons to Apply:
* Above the industry average for pay
* Mileage rate of 45p per mile
* Work directly for our client and not an agency (you will spend quality time with your client, making a real difference)
* Great opportunity for professional development
* Be part of an expert multi-disciplinary team
* Bespoke client induction and training
* Ongoing support and supervision from the dedicated Case Manager
