We are currently looking for a female Support Worker for a bank role

In Denny, we support one lady to live independently in her own flat. The lady we support has a learning disability, Autism and mental health concerns, so we are looking for individuals who have previous experience supporting an individual with Autism and can encourage and support her to become more independent.

In the past, the lady we support has faced a lot of challenges but has been living in her own home for over two years. She continues to learn new skills every day and enjoys socialising, listening to Abba, getting dressed up and pampered, going to lunch club and going out to a nightclub once a month with her friends.

As well as the activities the person we support enjoys, our team also support her with:

• Medication
• Cooking
• Assisting with personal care
• Supporting her to maintain her home and finances

The current shift pattern here is from 10am – 10.30am the next day (includes sleepover). We also provide some 2:1 support during the day, but the shifts for this can change depending on what the lady we support wishes to do.

Sometimes the people we support really need a male or female person to support them. For this particular role,a female colleague is required. This is a genuine occupational requirement as defined by the Equality Act 2010

About you:

The person we support likes to be supported by people who respect her and her home and who listens to her wishes.

She likes people who are reliable and honest, so that she can build trust and know that you have her best interests at heart.
