About our client: Jack, 52, a long-standing client of Snap Care, along with his case management company, is pleased to be recruiting a new team member. He is a devoted husband, a loving father, and a family man. Jack has a great sense of humor, enjoys banter, and is a big Formula One fan. A carpenter by trade, he spends time in his workshop, enjoys movies, playing cards, gardening, going to the gym, swimming, and painting. Jack sustained a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and complex orthopedic injuries six years ago; he is a full-time wheelchair user. He can become fatigued, struggles with short-term memory, and may be impulsive. He requires support with transfers, either with another team member or using a transfer aid. Jack communicates verbally and is dedicated to his rehabilitation; he has detailed care plans followed by all team members. Jack is also a Type 1 Diabetic.

Overview of role: The team provides 2:1 support most days, depending on activities and plans, and 1:1 care at night. Jack's weekly routine is planned with his wife and shared with the team. As a Brain Injury Support Worker, you will support Jack both at home and in the community, facilitate his role as husband and father, support his rehabilitation, and enable him to live life as he wishes. We are recruiting professionals to join a dedicated 24-hour care team supporting Jack from Monday to Sunday, with set shifts to ensure consistent, high-quality care. Applications are welcome for full, part-time, or bank roles.

Who this job would suit: Due to the location, you must be a driver with your own car (limited public transport links). Enthusiastic, positive, intuitive, and able to gauge when to step in or step back. Sharing interests such as gardening or fitness is desirable, but Jack is open to exploring new interests. The team needs to be high-energy, confident, motivational, and able to advocate for Jack. If you're a football fan, that's a bonus!

What’s great about this job: Highly recommended by Jack's team. Offers vast upskilling opportunities, thorough induction, ongoing training, and supervision. The initial induction takes place Tuesday to Thursday before shifts begin. Jack is active and busy, making each day different. This is a rewarding position, with more information available upon application.
