Job description

Support Worker – Llanishen, Cardiff

IOS Care | 30 Hours per Week | No Personal Care Required

Are you a caring, friendly and reliable person who enjoys helping others live independently?

IOS Care is looking for a compassionate and enthusiastic Support Worker to provide 30 hours of support per week to a 55-year-old lady living independently in her own two-bedroom apartment in Llanishen, Cardiff.

This is a rewarding opportunity to make a genuine difference to someone's everyday life, helping them maintain their independence, enjoy their interests and remain active within the local community.

About the Individual

The lady you will be supporting is 55 years old and lives alone in Llanishen. She has diabetes and experiences mental health difficulties, so we are looking for someone who can provide patient, understanding and consistent support.

She enjoys socialising, spending time with her family, watching Netflix and getting out and about.

The ideal candidate will be someone who is friendly, approachable, a good listener and able to build a positive, trusting relationship.

Your Responsibilities

Your role will involve providing practical assistance, companionship and encouragement with everyday activities, including:

• Supporting with general household and domestic duties.
• Assisting with shopping and everyday errands.
• Providing medication reminders and prompts.
• Accompanying the individual to hospital and other healthcare appointments.
• Supporting visits to the gym and encouraging an active lifestyle.
• Accompanying the individual to local shops, cafés and community activities.
• Providing companionship, conversation and emotional reassurance.
• Encouraging independence, confidence and positive daily routines.
• Supporting the individual to maintain contact with family and enjoy social activities.

Please note: This position does not involve providing personal care.

What We're Looking For

We would love to hear from applicants who are:

• Kind, compassionate, patient and understanding.
• Friendly, sociable and able to build positive relationships.
• Reliable, punctual and committed to providing consistent support.
• Comfortable supporting someone who experiences mental health difficulties.
• Respectful of personal boundaries, privacy and independence.
• Able to encourage and motivate without being overbearing.
• Flexible and willing to support a variety of activities.

Previous care or support experience would be beneficial, but the right personality and attitude are equally important.

A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle would be advantageous due to the community-based nature of the role.

What IOS Care Offers

• 30 hours of work per week.
• A consistent placement supporting the same individual.
• Full induction and ongoing training.
• Support from an experienced management team.
• Opportunities for professional development.
• A friendly and supportive working environment.
• The opportunity to build a meaningful professional relationship and make a real difference.
