Everyone deserves the chance to live life to its fullest. For some, that could mean shopping, eating a healthy diet, or going to the pub for lunch.

That’s where you come in.

Working in our 7-bedroom adult residential home in Teignmouth, you’ll play a key role in supporting people's great quality of life. The adults we support need 24-hour care, so you’ll be able to work your full week’s hours in 3-4 days On average, you may be asked to sleep at the home once per week. Many of the adults you support will be non-speaking or minimal speaking, so they will need some help with accessing and being active in the local community.

Not all days are the same. Due to the needs of the individuals, they may have days that are more challenging and will need support to navigate these. You’ll be supporting people with Autism, learning disabilities and complex needs, meaning they may require higher levels of personal care, or more emotional, social or communication support. Don’t worry – You’ll get all the training you need to help them live their best lives.

Patience, compassion, and resilience – The adults we support have experiences and learning disabilities, which may have an impact on their communication or lead to behaviour that could be seen as challenging. Great communication skills – Both verbal and non-verbal communication is important in this role as you’ll be speaking to a lot of different people at different times and need to be able to adapt and update support records. To be flexible – You’ll need to be able to sleep at the home during your shifts. We provide 24-hour support. This does mean you’ll be able to work your full week in 2-3 days

In return for your time, you’ll get:

Holidays – You’ll get 28 days annual leave. You’ll still need to work on bank holidays if the rota requires. You’ll also get an extra day off for your birthday after your first year with us.
