Im not very steady on my feet, so I need two people to help me walk or transfer safely. I also need time to process information, so patience is really important to me.

Youll be working in my family home, helping me with personal care, medication and joining me in play, learning and social activities. We often go out in the communityjust us and another support worker, or with my family. Youll also help with therapy programmes and some household tasks. If youre calm, proactive and full of enthusiasm, youll fit right in!

• Ongoing training and support
• 5.6 weeks annual leave (pro rata)
• Sickness entitlement
• Pension (subject to eligibility)
• Free DBS check
• Induction and relevant training (including the Care Certificate)
• Regular supervision and support from my care team

Requirements For The Role

• Proof of eligibility to work in the UK
• Satisfactory references (including your last employer)

• Commitment to safeguarding and promoting my wellbeing

If youre someone who brings warmth, compassion and a sense of fun, Id welcome your application. Come and be part of my journey - help me live life to the fullest!
