Ref: LP10) 2x Female Support Worker(s) - Swansea (Exemption is claimed under the Equality Act 2010 Part 1 Schedule 9)

Contract: Permanent

Hours: 20 Hours (Extra Shifts may be available to cover holidays and sickness however this is not guaranteed)

Working pattern:
  1. 00am – 6.00pm, Monday to Friday (2 x 10-hour shifts per week)

Pay per hour: Weekday (8.00am – 6.00pm) = £14.00

I’m a 27-year-old lady with cerebral palsy and live in an adapted property in Hendy with my parents and siblings. I’m a wheelchair user and hoisted for all transfers which requires 2:1 support throughout the day. I have complex physical needs and receive weekly input from an occupational therapist.

I’m unable to communicate verbally but have developed ways of communicating to make my needs and feelings known.

A typical day for me and my support workers would include assisting with my personal care and physio in the mornings, then usually I like to get out for the day. My favourite things to do are going to the cinema, going for brunch/lunch, going shopping and for coffee & cake, also I love being pampered, I go to the hairdressers regularly and like to have my nails done.

I’m fun, adventurous, have a wicked sense of humour and love banter. You’ll need a positive outlook and be able to support me to access my current interests and help me try out some new activities.

I’m looking for someone who will fit in with my existing small team of support workers, who are friendly, outgoing and share similar interests to me, we have so much fun, and every day is different. Although I have a disability, this doesn’t define me, I want to live life to the fullest and have fun.

If you think this sounds like you then please apply, we would love to meet you!
