About Me

Overview of role: There are whiteboards with the daily / weekly schedule set up in the therapy room. Alice uses her phone diary when she is out of the house. Alice does not require continuous input from her Support Workers so you’ll be sensitive to know when she needs her privacy. During these times, you’ll undertake any report writing required and take breaks (staff lounge and use of kitchen). There will be some basic light duties involved each day; ironing (such as t-shirts / bedlinen) and ensuring the house is clean and tidy. Alice requires some guidance when making her evening meals. She is very able and does not need physical care, but she does want some emotional support for certain activities, a degree of companionship and someone to accompany her on trips out of the home (Alice requires her Support Workers to drive her). At around pm Alice will go to her bedroom to watch TV and at pm the sleeping-in Support Worker takes over. More information is given when candidates are shortlisted.

Who this job would suit
