**The Service**

At Lavender Road we support 4 people who lead a varied and active lifestyle and enjoy being a part of the community. Lavender Road is a lovely place to live and is not too far from Gateshead - it even has its own garden

The people we support at Lavender Road also enjoy taking part in lots of activities such as arts & crafts, gardening, baking and take away nights. Part of your role will be to help them live life to the full meaning no day will ever be the same

**What would you be doing?**

The people that live at Lavender Road need thoughtful, enthusiastic and caring people to support them.

Your days will be varied and supporting people with all aspects of daily life means we need you to be adaptable - one part of the day might be supporting people with intimate and personal care, using specially trained moving and handling techniques, the next could be playing the guitar, painting someone’s nails, having a snowball fight then sitting with someone to support them hand over hand to peel some potatoes for everyone’s dinner.

The people we support at Lavender Road have struggled during lockdown too and haven't been able to be out and about as much as they would like to, but there is a garden and outside space that people we support do enjoy and if you have creative ideas about how to support people at home - this would be a huge advantage

**About you**

The people we support need (and want) people who support them to take the time to get to know them - to learn to listen to what they say with both their verbal and nonverbal language. This might be difficult at first but there are members of the team who have known the people we support for many years and will help to support you.

Supporting people also means doing the things that keep us safe and the people we support need staff who can help them to take care of their health needs as well. You will be supporting in attending appointments and working with families to make decisions and advocate where needed.

We need people who are good communicators who can work alone and as part of a team, people who can problem solve and maintain boundaries in a positive and sensitive way.

If you genuinely enjoy making a positive difference in people’s lives, are approachable, motivated, kind and a good listener please do get in touch.
