Douglas born in 1948, has a caring nature and loves interacting with animals. He loves his food and will have pudding 3 times a week. His favourite TV programme is Bargain Hunt. Structure is very important to him and likes to know what is happening and when.

The Support Worker post involves providing assistance and support to our client in self-care and daily living activities (e.g. washing, dressing, toileting, transfers) and enabling him to access the community, leisure and social activities. The Support Worker will also support Douglas to follow through recommendations made by his treating therapists. Douglas has his food pureed at regular times due to risk of choking.

Experience of care/support work and knowledge of Traumatic Brain Injury is desirable but training will be provided and a full driving license (endorsements to be disclosed) and access to a car is essential, though Douglas has his own wheelchair adapted vehicle which the support worker will drive when taking our client out.

This is an excellent opportunity for a dedicated person to join a dedicated home care team and develop existing skills and support this very special man. A truly rewarding role for someone who is able to communicate effectively and an ability to work with patience, tact, understanding, warmth and compassion.
