Job description

I’m a 28-year-old lady with cerebral palsy and live in an adapted property in Hendy with my parents and siblings. I’m a wheelchair user and hoisted for all transfers which requires 2:1 support throughout the day. I have complex physical needs and receive weekly input from a physiotherapist. I’m unable to communicate verbally but have developed ways of communicating to make my needs and feelings known.A typical day for me and my support workers would include assisting with my personal care and physio in the mornings, then usually I like to get out for the day. My favourite things to do are going to the cinema, going for brunch/lunch, going shopping and for coffee & cake, also I love being pampered, I go to the hairdressers regularly and like to have my nails done. I’m fun, adventurous, have a wicked sense of humour and love banter.You’ll need a positive outlook and be able to support me to access my current interests and help me try out some new activities.I’m looking for someone who will fit in with my existing small team of support workers, who are friendly, outgoing and share similar interests to me, we have so much fun, and every day is different. Although I have a disability, this doesn’t define me, I want to live life to the fullest and have fun.

This role is subject to an Enhanced level DBS check. Full induction and training will be provided.

To join me as a support worker you need to:

• Be able to drive and have use of a car (to get to and from my house and to attend training, your personal car would not be used during work time as I have my own vehicle).
• Be able to drive my adapted vehicle to take me out.
• Have experience in care, preferably supporting a person with a birth injury such as cerebral palsy and experience of supporting a person with communication difficulties.
• Enjoy working as part of a team.
• Be willing to register with Social Care Wales.

Top Reasons to Apply:

• Mileage rate – 45p per mile.
• Work directly for our client and not an agency (unlike most agency work you will spend quality time with your client which can make a real difference).
• Great opportunity for professional development.
