Are you someone with a passion for making a difference? If so, we’d love to hear from you!

About the Person We Support:

We support a social lady in her 60s who enjoys drives in her own vehicle, meals out, seeing friends and family, and visiting places like museums or coastal areas. She has a learning disability and a physical disability, requiring support in a supported living home. You will also provide emotional reassurance during distressing behaviors—full positive behavior support training is provided, but previous experience is essential. A chatty, outgoing support worker with a good sense of humor would be a great match.

What Will I Be Doing?

You will support her to live her life according to her choices, be herself, and achieve her goals. Responsibilities include personal care, meal preparation, medication administration, budgeting, cooking, cleaning, and laundry.
