We have a fantastic opportunity for a vacancy for a 30-35 hour Support Worker male or female to join our dedicated team based in Maesteg near Bridgend. We currently have 5 people we support in their home and have one vacancy. This is what the People we support have said about the staff they are looking to recruit:
We are three men who live in Maesteg area in a shared house with one other man and one lady. We are looking for a support worker who can encourage us to do more - both in our home and in our local community.

One of the men said ““I am looking for a support worker who can support me do attend my volunteering at the local community garden and allotment and support me to maintain my own allotment when I obtain one. I therefore would like someone who loves gardening and growing vegetables and will share their knowledge of how to grow the best fruit and vegetables with me. I attend the local men's shed group and therefore you need to be able to mix well with others and as the group is locally based knowledge of the local area and community as we often talk about the “valley' s “history will be beneficial., I also like doing DIY projects so good DIY skills that be great. I like doing Lego especially building cars and marvel Lego projects so an interest in this would be something I like you to have. I also love long walks, so you need to be physically able to support me with my walks.

The other man supported said that “I love music especially Status Quo, Tom Jones and Elvis, so enjoying a sing-along as I have my own jukebox and supporting me to watch concerts is something I love you to enjoy alongside me. The third gentleman said” I love trucks and cars and enjoy going to car shows and Monster truck events, so enjoying these with me would be great. All of us like our home cooked meals so having cooking skills is important.

We would really love to become more independent and be able to do more of tasks ourselves, we really would like you to support us to learn new skills around our home. We love to decorate our home and have BBQs in my Garden and parties if you have the interests above, we love to meet you and welcome you to our support team”.

So, who are we I looking for?. Someone who is calm and will take the time to help us express myself. We like banter and fun in our home so would prefer someone who is outgoing, and bubbly can make us laugh and has a good sense of humour People who are fun to be with and will help us try out new things. And someone who likes gardening,, music, walking, football and cooking. We prefer to have a driver as we have our own cars and use these to get and about.
