    A full UK driving licence is essential for this role.


What matters most is a positive attitude to life and a desire to support people to live their life with as much independence, choice, dignity and control as possible.

You will need to have good listening skills and a practical, caring approach.

Basic computer literacy is a necessity, as the role requires you to retrieve and record information using a variety of IT systems.


What will you be doing?


We are looking for people to support two individuals with profound learning disabilities within their own home and out in the community.

Within this service you'll be required to support with Moving & Handling, including use of a Hoist, as well as intimate personal care.

Experience of supporting with (PEG) Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy, is desirable but not essential, as full training will be provided.

The individuals live independent, who need dedicated and caring support workers to assist them with every aspect of day to day life, including; paying bills/finances, laundry, medication, shopping, meal preparation, planning of days out and corresponding with family members and health professionals on a regular basis.


They both have busy social lives and need people who will be confident to advocate for them and to support them out and about in the community, going to the gym, hydrotherapy swimming sessions, going to the cinema, cafes, seeing friends and family, attending weekly groups at day centres and attending medical appointments when needed.


The purpose of your role is to give the highest possible standards of support to individuals with moderate to severe learning disabilities.


This can range from supporting them to discover new interests, reaching goals like travelling or holidays and working positively with their families and friends.

This will help individuals to engage in different leisure, home or work-related activities, all according to their personal choice.

As a support worker, your responsibilities are varied and no two days are the same.


As well as providing physical and emotional support you may be needed to help with household tasks and personal care as well as supporting individuals with healthcare needs, e.g.

taking medication.


Everything you do will enable people to have choices about their own lives, providing flexible services that meet people's needs, and always looking for the best way of doing things.


We provide 24/7 support to some people, so you will need to have flexibility to work shifts, including sleep in nights, weekends and bank holidays.
