**Who you’ll be supporting & more about the role**:

- We all live within our own flats at Glendale House, there are 22 flats of different sizes, and our ages range from around 19 to 70 and the service has been open from 2014.
- We all have different support needs and like support to become independent in different aspects of our life such as cooking, budgeting, shopping, prompts with personal care, etc and also to achieve our everyday goals and aspirations.
- We are all independent in that we can come and go as we please, however we may also require support to integrate into the local community.
- We have a lovely staff team, some of whom have worked here for as long as the service has been open.They are all very knowledgeable about our care and support and have received regular training to ensure they have exactly the right skills to support us.They have training such as Mental Health awareness, suicide awareness, safeguarding, administration of medication, epilepsy awareness and lots moreWe strive to ensure training is up to date and our staff have the opportunity to complete apprenticeships to further their knowledge.
- Our family is very important to us, and our staff team support us to keep in touch with them and include them in every aspect of our lives.
- We love lots of activities such as arts and crafts, going to the cinema, karaoke, movie and themed nights and also love going out for coffee and walks.
- We are all completely different in nature, some are outgoing and boisterous and like to laugh and have a bit banter, and others are quiet and like to keep themselves to themselves and may need a bit of support to help them to come out of their shells.
- We love people who are light-hearted, positive, imaginative, motivated and people who can thing outside of the box
- We would not enjoy spending time with people who are bossy, overpowering, ignorant or negative.
- We usually have around 3-5 staff on at Glendale, however this reduces to 1 member at night as no one has 1-1 support during the night, but it’s nice to have someone there if we need them.
- We have different shifts - 8am - 3pm, 3pm - 10pm 9am - 5pm, 1pm
- 9pm and 10pm - 8 am.However, these can at times change as our staff are flexible around us so that we can enjoy the things we like to such as going to the theatre or cinema.
