Job description

We are looking for kind, compassionate and reliable Support Workers to join an established care team supporting a gentleman in his 30s who lives in East Preston (BN16, West Sussex). Meet our client: Following a road traffic accident, our client sustained a brain injury and now requires support with all aspects of his daily care. This is a fantastic opportunity to build a meaningful relationship with one individual, get to know his personality and interests, and help him enjoy an active and fulfilling lifestyle. Our client is a cheerful, polite and easy-going gentleman with a wonderfully cheeky sense of humour! Although his verbal communication is limited, he can say a few words and enjoys the company of positive, friendly people who take the time to understand him. He certainly enjoys keeping busy! He's a big fan of rugby, football and, of course, Kylie Minogue! He loves getting out and about, whether that's attending concerts, visiting the cinema or enjoying other social activities.

Shifts Available :

• Day Shifts: 8:00am - 8:00pm

In this role, you'll support one individual with complex needs as part of a consistent care team, with regular weekly shifts and rotas planned in advance.

• Full personal care and support with daily living.
• Assistance with regular physiotherapy.
• Support with hydrotherapy sessions in his own on-site swimming pool.
• Some overnight clinical tasks (don't worry - full training will be provided, and previous clinical experience isn't essential).

You'll be working as part of a consistent team, getting to know one individual and making a real difference to his everyday life.
