We support individuals with a condition called Korsakoff's Syndrome. The people we support are mostly in their 40s and 50s, have short term memory problems but are otherwise very active, outgoing and sociable.
On a day-to-day basis your role will include prompting, supporting and sometimes assisting the currently resident clients with their daily living skills, from hoovering their room and personal care, to going to the local shop. You will be expected to supervise and assist with preparing breakfast, lunch and supper. You will be responsible for supporting a small group of clients each day to manage laundry, keep their rooms clean and tidy and perform basic household tasks. You will also be responsible for some other household duties. Once you have mastered the basics, you will be trained to administer medication, go out with the clients to appointments, go shopping, for walks, to the library - all the things that are part of 'normal' life.
