We have a fantastic opportunity for a Support Worker to join our dedicated team based in Fairwater, Cardiff. In this pivotal role you will be assisting and encouraging people in supported living to become integrated members of their local community, promoting physical and social participation.

**What do the people we support have to say?**

We support a 63 year old individual from Fairwater. A support worker that is active and out-going is best suited here.

‘I am a 63 year old man that is very independent. I have support for a few hours a day, my support workers promote my independence, provide active support with cooking and other daily tasks. I am very out-going and love to party - I am always the last one on the dance floor. I enjoy going to see shows, going out for meals and socializing with people in my local community. I am sometimes anxious and require a positive, reassuring person to ease my anxiety.

**Who are we?**

mirus is a not-for-profit charitable organisation, working in partnership with the people they support, their families and other partners, to deliver high quality, person-centred support services for people with a disability.

- As a Support worker we will support you in studying towards your QCF Level 2 Health and Social Care, which is completely funded by mirus.
- You will work alongside other professionals such as care managers, community nurses and occupational therapists to deliver high quality support.

**What we are looking for?**
