Job description

Overview

• Safe : Proactive safety, robust safeguarding, and exceptional continuity of care.
• Caring : Families consistently praise our warm, respectful and compassionate staff.
• Responsive : People choose their own staff team and receive highly personalized support.
• Effective : Care is continuously reviewed and shaped around evolving needs and health goals.

We’re launching a new supported living service in Sudbury. This is a rare opportunity to join from the very beginning and help shape a stable, consistent support team around an amazing individual with great potential for growth.

About the Person You’ll Support "J"

• J is full of humour and loves to laugh‑comedy and light‑heartedness go a long way.
• He enjoys going to the beach and spending time in open spaces, although motivation to leave home can sometimes be a challenge.
• Once out, he can be so engaged that he doesn’t want to come home, so patience and flexibility are key.
• He follows a Positive Behaviour Support (PBS)‑led approach focused on proactive, structured care.
• Boredom is a major trigger, keeping J stimulated and engaged (at home and in the community) is crucial.
• During periods of change or stress, J may show behaviours that challenge, but these do not define him; you’ll have full training and team support.

What You’ll Do

• Build a trusting, respectful relationship with J.
• Assist with daily routines, personal care, and community access.
• Encourage J’s interests and introduce new activities.
• Work with colleagues and PBS leads to reduce behaviours of concern.
• Provide consistent, structured support to build J’s independence over time.

What We’re Looking For

We welcome applicants with a strong sense of compassion, reliability, and the ability to stay calm and positive even in challenging situations. Ideally you will:

• Have experience in the care/support sector.
• Understand or have worked with individuals with complex needs or behaviours that challenge.
• Be patient, proactive, and pragmatic.
• Work well as part of a close‑knit team.
• Be consistent and dependable—stability is crucial for J.
• Hold a full UK driving licence (J has his own vehicle, and every shift requires at least one driver). We can consider some non‑drivers, especially for night shifts, but availability is limited.

Shift Details and Availability

• Day shifts / Sleeping Nights: 8:00 AM – 8:00 PM.
• Part‑time work available (typically 1–3 shifts per week).
• We cannot offer split shifts due to the structure and consistency needed for J.
• Waking Nights: 8:00 PM – 8:00 AM.

Employee Benefits & Package

• Industry‑specific and bespoke training, tailored to the individual you support (incl. PBS).
• Career development and internal progression opportunities.
• Regular supervision, mentoring, and team support.n
