Job description

The family and care team of a young man, with visual impairment and severe learning difficulties, who can at times present challenging behaviour, are looking for a compassionate and conscientious individual to join the team. A unique residential care service, dedicated and tailored to this individual in the family home, we provide a range of care and support services for him. Our main priority for this job role is to find people with the right values, behaviours and attitudes that match his needs.

We are seeking to recruit a great new support worker; with a positive attitude, to work in the unique and bespoke service we provide – could this be you?

You don’t need to have previous experience in this field, nor do you need specific qualifications – providing you have a strong work ethic, we are happy to work with you and offer training to help you become an excellent support worker. Above all we want someone that shares in our values which are:

A commitment to quality and being the best we can for the client.

Treating the person we support with compassion.

Showing dignity and respect to all people that they will be working with.

Our client has a very organised timetable of activities and a very structured routine. However, this does not mean that two days are the same. Duties may include some basic support with personal care needs, as well as helping the individual to take part in a wide range of special interests and activities that support his health and wellbeing such as cooking, cycling, swimming, eating out, horse riding etc.

Our client has his own vehicle, which is automatic; staff are expected to drive the vehicle to enable our client to access a full range of activities.

Our client is 2:1 support.
