You would be working in a team of three every shift, so it’s important that you have good team skills and communication. The team you would be working with are very experienced and follow tailor-made support plans which they would support you to be familiar with.

It’s important to have the ability to adapt to different situations, supporting with the highs and lows of a person’s life. We all have them and as support workers we need to be sensitive and responsive in our approaches.

A understand of a positive behaviour support plan would be beneficial but you would be fully trained and supported to be able to meet the needs of the person we support.
