High Wycombe, United Kingdom Hightown Housing Association Full time

**About Us**

Hightown is a charitable housing association operating principally in Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Berkshire and Buckinghamshire. We believe everyone should have a home and the support they need, so our aim is to build new homes and to provide excellent housing and support.

We currently manage over 8,000 homes and employ over 1,000 full and part time staff from our head office in Hemel Hempstead. We have an annual turnover of £120 million and a development programme that will deliver over 400 new affordable homes each year.

**About the Role**

We currently have full time (37.5 hours) Personal Assistant (Care) position at our supported housing scheme, Shamrock House, in High Wycombe. Shamrock House provides eight supported living flats and provides support for people with enduring mental health issues.

Working as part of a dedicated team, you will provide support to service users with their day to day needs, within the service or out in the community. This may involve personal care and also helping to promote life skills such as shopping, managing budgets and housework. You will follow agreed support plans and risk assessments to ensure that we are providing a service that meets each individual's needs, supports their aspirations and maximises their independence.

You do not need sector experience as we provide a structured introduction and comprehensive training to support you with your role and you will have the opportunity to gain an accredited vocational qualification.

**About You**

We are looking for passionate people with a 'can-do' attitude who are driven by the desire to make a difference and who have the ability to recognise the wishes and needs of vulnerable adults and communicate effectively using different methods according to people's needs.

You will need to be able to work shifts as part of a rota system which will include weekend and bank holiday working. You must be able to work as part of a team to deliver an excellent service to the people we support and be flexible in your approach to work. You will have a commitment to equality and diversity and take a positive approach to supporting people with learning disabilities.

**Experience is desirable but not essential.**

In return for your hard work and commitment, we offer a benefits package which includes:

- Generous annual leave allowance of 33 days per year, including statutory bank holidays, rising to 35 days with service
- £12 per hour
