We have a unique and exciting opportunity for a support worker to work alongside our client in Norwich, Norfolk.

Our client is a young man in his 20s. The youngest of three brothers, he lives in an incredibly loving, supportive, chatty, and lively household in the charming village of Rockland St. Mary, just a short drive from central Norwich.

He’s a charming and inspiring young man who has a wide spectrum of interests, from Peppa Pig to world politics. His magnetic personality will draw you into conversations on these topics and everything in between with ease. He loves baking, quiz shows, getting out and about in the local area, and football (he is a huge Chelsea fan). Most of all, he adores people. His care team describe him as a joy to work with and say he has nothing but kind words to share.

Hours:Full-time, 40 hours per week (between 07:30 - 19:30, seven-day week rota, published well in advance)

Key Responsibilities:

At twelve years old, the client suffered a spinal stroke, impacting his life dramatically. He has an NG tube for drainage and is fed by jejunal tube via his bowel. Due to scoliosis, he has a bipap to support breathing during the night. He has a concise care plan in place to support the following:

• Daily/nightly bowel, urinary, and personal care programme.
• Feeding regime.
• Physiotherapy programme.
• Transportation - a full UK driving licence and vehicle are essential.

Requirements:

We’re looking for someone with experience working in a care environment, ideally with young adults/children. Complex care experience is desirable but not essential, as training will be given. Most importantly, the client wants someone dependable, sociable, and thoughtful with positive energy, solid common sense, vigilance, and good communication skills. In return, you will be able to gain experience and grow skills that few other roles provide, while working within a great team and a supportive family in a lovely environment that includes access to areas in the home specifically for support workers.

Our client may have complex needs, but he’s defined far more by his wonderful qualities. He’s a delightful, incredibly funny person and an inspiration to those around him. For more information, contact [email protected]
