Cornwall, United Kingdom Aspire Support Full time

We are looking to build a team to provide support for a lady living in her own home in Dobwalls. She loves her animals, being active outdoors or chilling in the hot tub at the end of the day. On quiet days she likes arts and crafts and loves disney movies.

We work a 12 hour day and night shift pattern and sleep ins, with flexible opportunities from zero hour bank contracts to permanent 48 hour per week contracts, with the aim of balancing the needs of our lady with yours.

She has a learning disability and Autism with a pervasive drive for autonomy, so her team need to be skilled communicators who help her manage her epilepsy and Ehlers Danlos Syndrome on both the busy days and the quieter ones.

Sometimes she will experience episodes of distress and her team need to help her feel and stay safe with a physical intervention. We don't think experience is necessary but the right attitude and the willingness to learn is. We will pay for a DBS check and are looking for a quick start, so what do you have to lose?

**In return we offer**
- Training and supervision in Trauma informed care, Autism and PBS
- Referral bonus
- Funding and Mentoring through Nationally recognised qualifications
- Employers Pension
- Good opportunities for progression
- Generous paid holiday, (with your birthday off)
- Paid Sick Pay
- Overtime over contracted hours

Work remotely
- No

**Job Type**: Permanent
