Lead Support Worker

Chippenham, United Kingdom Dimensions UK Ltd Full time

A Message From Your New Locality Manager, Nigel

"We've been given a fantastic opportunity to build a team to support Brandon. Brandon will shortly be making the exciting transition from an assisted living setting to his own home in Chippenham. This is a significant change for Brandon, so his new Lead Support Worker - and friend - needs to help make this transition a great experience for him. So, we're looking for someone sincere about providing personalised support to step forward and help make a massive difference in his life. You don't need to have experience in social care as we at Dimensions will provide you with the comprehensive training you need. On a personal note, I joined Dimensions in late 2018 as a Support Worker, but in the decades before that, I worked in corporate supply chain logistics. I chose to change careers because I wanted to be involved in a sector - and with an organisation - that is person-centred and truly fulfilling. Since making the decision to move into care, I've supported and worked with many truly inspirational people - and I have to ask, could you be one of those people?

Meet Brandon and Charlie Bear

Brandon is a lively and playful (some might say mischievous) young gentleman in his late 20s, and he’s super excited right now because he - along with his constant companion and lifelong best friend Charlie the bear - are moving back to Chippenham to be closer to their family and friends.

Brandon has severe learning disabilities and autism, and communicates non-verbally, but he does understand everything you say, and he’ll communicate with you through Charlie Bear; so, when you meet Brandon, expect to say hello to Charlie too - just be prepared because Charlie does like to fly across rooms sometimes

Due to experiencing some tough times as of late, Brandon has lost a little of his confidence and a little of his spark, so he’s looking to welcome into his home - and his life - an upbeat, warmhearted, and inspiring person who will go out of their way to help him shine once again As our newest Lead Support Worker, you'll achieve this by being actively and enthusiastically engaged in every aspect of Brandon's day (and night), whilst encouraging and empowering him to lead a richer, more fulfilling life - his best life, the life that he chooses to live. You'll also be expected to motivate and coach your new colleagues to continue providing outstanding levels of care, and encourage them to achieve their full potential.

Brandon has an amazing sense of humour; he loves music (he’s a Sheerio and a huge Dua Lipa fan), he enjoys watching TV (he loves football, rugby, Bob the Builder, and quiz shows - he thoroughly enjoys it when you read out the questions and laughs when you get the answers wrong), and he also enjoys getting out and about every day. His favourite trips always end up at B&M, Wilkos and McDonalds

Brandon can walk, but often must use a wheelchair, so, he will require you as his support workers - his new friend - to provide mobility assistance, and he will also require personal care and assistance with preparing meals and feeding. That being said, Brandon always wants to learn and along with Charlie, will always help you when helping him.

How to Apply

Whether you come from a background in care, or you've always been interested in supporting others, then we'd love to hear from you As a values-based employer, there is no requirement to have previous work experience or care qualifications.

Why join Dimensions?
- No more time-consuming, costly commutes to worry about - you will provide ongoing support to three people in one property; there's no requirement to travel between homes
