Job Description:

Have you worked with people who have a learning disability? Could you help to lead a team?

As a Female Support Worker, you will join a dedicated, resilient, enthusiastic team providing support across two homes in Shrewsbury.

Due to the nature of this service we can only accept applications from FEMALE candidates.

What would you be doing?

You could be helping 3 ladies live gloriously ordinary live, let me tell you more about them.

Rebekah, Amelia and Jayde share a home, they are all in their twenties and like to have lots of fun. It's a busy household with lots going on, so the days fly by with no two the same.

A day shift might involve supporting the 3 lovely girls to attend their regular riding session and accompanying them to the local farm.

They lead active lifestyles so sometimes its hard to keep up! Jayde loves going out to the the cinema or go swimming. Where as Rebekah and Amelia have dance classes that they attend every week. Favourite activities include visits to the gym, bowling and go to the sports village.

It's very important that you support them to maintain regular contact with their families. You will help with day to day household duties like cleaning, shopping & cooking and with a bit of encouragement Rebekah Jayde and Amelia will get involved. They do love making their own pizzas with a variety of toppings. (Wouldn't that be fun?!)

So, if you think you can make a difference in their lives or the other way round, then do apply!

This is a part- time role working 20 hours per week, plus sleep-ins.

Flexibility is essential as you will be working as part of a rota that includes weekends, Bank holidays, sleep ins.
