We are building a team to support and encourage Kim to reach her full potential in life, promote her independence, and be strong when she needs you too. Kim is looking for females who have a firm but fair approach, are confident in maintaining boundaries, and remain consistent even during tough times.

Kim needs people who are versatile, able to share a laugh, have fun, enjoy her interests, but also be direct and honest when needed, in a kind manner.

Patience and encouragement are key qualities. Most importantly, you must be committed to supporting Kim to develop, achieve, and grow, helping her have the best life possible.

Family is important to Kim; support and encouragement to maintain healthy relationships with them while promoting her independence are essential. Kim enjoys playing pool, making models, music, creative activities, and DIY projects like building furniture and fixing things. She will need positive encouragement and support for daily tasks such as cooking, cleaning, personal care, and attending appointments.

Ideally, you will:

• Be reliable and flexible
• Be someone who doesn't give up easily
• Have a positive, can-do attitude
• Be open-minded and non-judgmental
• Be confident and consistent
• Be firm but fair
• Be a good team player
• Understand the importance of not taking things personally

Benefits:

• Competitive salaries
• Award-winning pension scheme
• Company sick pay scheme
• Excellent annual leave allowance, including top-up pay
• Critical illness cover
• Life insurance
• Comprehensive induction
