About the Role:

You will be supporting two individuals in the same home. The people we support both have epilepsy and require close supervision. One experiences moderate absent seizures, follows a strict ketogenic diet, and has a mild learning disability alongside Ring 20 chromosome disorder. They self‑medicate but benefit from prompting and encouragement, and enjoy films, festivals, and bowling. The other has epilepsy along with executive functioning difficulties, social anxiety, and selective mutism, which affect their ability to manage morning and evening routines independently. They rely on staff prompts for personal care, medication, safe meal and drink preparation, and safe mobilization. They enjoy music, prefer structured routines but value choice and flexibility, and benefit from patient, person‑centred support.

Key Responsibilities:

Supporting with daily routines, promoting independence, managing behaviours positively, and ensuring a safe and engaging environment. As a Senior Support Worker, you'll also be responsible for leading and supporting a small team, ensuring high standards of care are consistently met. This includes overseeing daily handovers, mentoring staff, completing regular audits, contributing to care planning and risk assessments, liaising with external professionals, and supporting the Service Manager with rota planning, training, and team development.
