Job description

Come Join Our Team!

We have an excellent opportunity for female support workers to work days or waking nights (or a mix of both) alongside our client in Llandudno, Conwy.

Our client is a male in his late 20s who has complex needs due to spinal injury, including partial paralysis, limited arm & hand function, autonomic dysreflexia, and catheter/bowel care. He lives in his own accommodation with his golden retriever puppy and enjoys dog walking, mountain biking, 90's music, road trips, care events, and has an active social life.

Due to the client’s support needs, the successful candidate will need to be female, have some experience working with complex needs, and possess the softer skills of being a clear communicator with the motivation and ability to engage the client to build a solid, supportive relationship. Independence is very important to our client, so experience supporting maintenance in that area is key.

Pay: £15.14 - £18.49 per hour

Hours: Days - 24-48 hours per week over four days, 08:00 - 20:00.
Waking Nights - 48 hours every two weeks over four days, 20:00 - 08:00.
