Want to make a real difference to someone's life? Looking for a rewarding and fulfilling career? We have a fantastic opportunity for Complex Support Worker to join our dedicated team based in Newport.
Holding a full UK driving licence is mandatory (International driving license isn't accepted due to insurance purposes).
What do the people we support have to say?
Example -Hello, I am a 64 year old man who lives in Canton. I live in a shared house with 2 other people. I am looking for a support worker who can encourage me to do more - both in my home and out in my local community.
I really love Cardiff FC and I go to all their home games. I enjoy doing things in Canton – like going for a pub lunch, playing pool, going to the cinema and meeting up with my family and friends. I've recently also joined a walking group and a gardening club.
I do need some prompting with my personal care and my daily tasks around the house. I would really love to become more independent and be able to do more of these tasks myself, things like washing up and cooking.
So who am I looking for? ….Someone who is calm and will take the time to help me express myself. I like a quiet home so I would prefer someone who is softly spoken ….but can still make me laugh! I like people who are fun to be with and will help me try out new things. And someone who likes football….preferably Cardiff City!
