Make a Positive Impact in Someone's Daily Life

We are seeking a Support Worker, Personal Assistant (PA), or Health Care Assistant (HCA) who brings kindness, empathy, and a sense of fun to their work. This is a rewarding 1:1 role supporting an individual with complex needs to live safely, confidently, and as independently as possible within their own home and community.

Meet Our Client

The client requires support with personal care, mobility, daily living activities, and maintaining safety within the home. He has Down syndrome, high-functioning autism, a learning disability, and several complex health conditions that impact his day-to-day life, including mobility difficulties and an increased risk of falls.

He benefits from consistent support, reassurance, and routine, as changes can increase anxiety and affect his wellbeing. Building trust is important, as he may initially find it difficult to accept support from unfamiliar carers.

The client enjoys an active and fulfilling lifestyle and has a range of interests, including basketball, WWE, gaming, photography, scrapbooking, and collecting Marvel memorabilia. He also enjoys attending local community activities, car boot sales, and spending time outdoors.

This role requires a patient, reliable, and person-centred support worker who can promote independence, ensure safety, and support the client to continue enjoying the activities that are important to him.
