About the role

Are you someone who enjoys helping others live life to the fullest while building genuine, meaningful relationships?

If so, this could be the perfect role for you.

At our home on Loughor Road in Swansea, you'll be supporting five friendly and independent gentlemen aged between their 20s and 40s.

Each person has their own unique personality, interests and goals, and you'll play an important role in helping them achieve the things that matter most to them.

The people we support have autism, Down syndrome, ADHD and learning disabilities.

They communicate verbally and require mainly prompting and encouragement to maintain their independence, make choices and enjoy active, fulfilling lives.

You'll also support one gentleman who lives in a self-contained annex to develop his independence and confidence.

This is a home full of big personalities and shared interests.

From Harry Potter and Marvel enthusiasts to Disney fans, keen gamers and people who love taking on new challenges, there's always plenty to talk about and enjoy together. You could be cheering someone on at rugby training, supporting attendance at drama groups, pottery classes or football matches, helping with day-to-day routines, or accompanying someone doing social activities.

Travel: A driving licence is essential, as the people we support have their own vehicles and lead busy, active lives in their local community.
