Your Purpose
You will be part of a dedicated team providing tailored support to a young woman in her own home. Working collaboratively, you will ensure her needs guide the way you support her.
We are looking for compassionate support workers for an active woman who enjoys animals, staying busy, and values a consistent team to help her lead a fulfilling life. She lives with Prader-Willi syndrome and autism and would love support workers who can understand her needs, show kindness, and empower her to achieve her goals.
About You
This position is great fit for a dedicated and resilient individual who seeks to positively impact the lives of those with learning disabilities and mental health support needs.
In this role, you will provide support to individuals in various settings, focusing on empowering them to live fulfilling lives.
You will work closely with individuals, their social worker, and other allied professionals to deliver personalised support that addresses her specific needs. Your ability to follow instructions, work as part of a team, and maintain professional boundaries will be crucial in providing high-quality, person-centred care.
Understanding the significance of fostering trust and meaningful relationships, actively listening, and being flexible in your approach will be essential. Whether through one-on-one support, encouraging independence, or advocating for individuals with learning disabilities and mental health needs, your dedication will leave a lasting impact.
This role requires empathy, compassion, resilience, problem-solving skills, respect for professional boundaries, and a commitment to improving the lives of people we support. Most importantly, a genuine passion for working with and supporting people is essential, along with a desire to be an advocate for individuals with learning difficulties and mental health support needs.
Responsibilities will include assisting with daily tasks, offering emotional support, and managing challenging behaviours when necessary. You will empower the individuals to develop life skills, make informed decisions, and build confidence in their independence. This includes support with budgeting, promoting self-care, and serving as a trusted advocate for their needs and aspirations.
If you are a committed, adaptable individual ready to make a meaningful difference and help someone achieve their best life, we would be delighted to hear from you, especially if you align with the values of individuality, choice, independence, citizenship, collaboration, and equality.
You will need to be flexible in working various shift patterns, including evenings, weekends, and Bank Holidays. Sleep-ins may also be required as part of the role to ensure continuous support in our care.
