Ark Forres support people with a wide range of ages from early twenties to late seventies. The majority of our supported people live in their own homes independently with support. Most live in accommodation with their own flats and communal gardens and lounge area and like to live independent lives. We also have some outreach services; all have various health conditions and/or learning disabilities. The support varies from 5 hours a week to 24 hours a day, enabling them to promote independence, live a good life, meet outcomes, and support a person-centred approach. We also support our supported people out in the community who live at home with their parents. Due to the nature of support we provide, shift patterns are extremely variable.
Your main duties will include but are not limited to:
* Working with colleagues as part of an effective and efficient team to support vulnerable people.
* Communicating and working well with our supported people to provide individual care and maintain appropriate relationships.
* Being responsible for supporting individuals throughout the activities, giving positive feedback and encouragement.
If you are enthusiastic about supporting people to live their best lives, then apply now to join our team!
