Who you’ll be supporting & more about the role:

We are currently recruiting for Bank/Casual Support Workers to support 6 individuals who live in their own brand-new, purpose-built bungalows in Tullibody. For some of the people we support, this is the first time living in their own homes, so they need patience and understanding while they continue to adjust to their new surroundings.

In the past, the people we support have faced a lot of challenges because of their learning disabilities, Autism, mental health issues and hearing/visual impairments but this hasn’t stopped them from enjoying life! They enjoy some of the same activities as each other, such as dancing, listening to music, spending time with friends and family and going out for tea and cake, but they also enjoy their own activities, including gardening, sports, cooking and baking, animals and going to parties.

Our staff team are very supportive and have experience from supporting others in the past. As well as the activities the people we support enjoy, our team also supports with:

• Medication
• Cooking
• Assisting with personal care
• Maintaining the homes and finances of the people we support

The current shift pattern here is from 8am – 8pm or overnight from 8pm – 8am, which helps the people we support to feel safe as they settle into their new homes.

A UK driving license isn't mandatory, but it would be a bonus!

About you:

The people we support like to be supported by people who respect them and their homes, but who also like to have fun!
