About the Client

Hi I am a 37-year-old man with a dog who loves living. I had an accident when I was 6 years old and now want to get out and socialise by completing fun activities such as the cinema, gym and cooking. I would love to have someone friendly to do these activities with and someone who will motivate me! Having someone next to me while increasing my confidence would be incredible! Due to Adam’s brain injury his anxiety will spike at times, for example when meeting new people, or initiating new activities. He would love to start going to the gym again and is keen to have his support worker by his side. His short-term memory can be unreliable so being supported in building a structured weekly plan will be hugely beneficial, plus motivate Adam to start the day earlier and with gusto. Adam can get up, wash and dressed without any support and keeps a very tidy house – he lives independently with his loyal and friendly dog.

The Role at a Glance

Adam has not employed Support Workers for the past 5 years so this is going to be a slow and gentle process for ‘team Adam’. The right person is going to work with Adam in changing his daily routine, with a huge amount of positive energy and patience. You will be led by Adam, however, you’ll have the experience of knowing when to step up your guidance and support. Adam and his case manager spoke about earlier starts, say 10.00am, taking his dog out for a walk, then planning the day or days ahead with structured and meaningful activities. Adam mentioned the gym, but he also loves going for day trips to National Trust properties and would eventually love to plan longer trips away, coach trips for instance. He would really like to do more cooking, so an interest in this would be hugely beneficial. Adam is also working towards volunteering again in a local café which he is excited about. The main goal during the hours spent with Adam will be to build on his confidence, showing him how much he can achieve, and keeping him on track through purposeful activities.

This Job Would Suit

An experienced male support worker who will bring previous experience of supporting adults with an Acquired Brain Injury. There will be more information regarding this on application. Having a genuine passion for this type of work. A confident driver with your own car is essential, to enable Adam to travel further afield.

Why You’ll Love This Role

The number one reason for applying is of course the opportunity to work alongside Adam, a very kind and warm person, with a lovely infectious laugh. There will be extensive onboarding and training, with ongoing supervision from his fantastic case manager.
