About the role
We're looking for a fantastic support worker to help an amazing woman live life to the fullest! She's turning 30 this year and needs the right person by her side to celebrate, support her independence, and keep life exciting.
You'll be providing 2:1 support in her supported living flat, where free staff parking is available. A part of your role will be encouraging her independence and maintaining firm boundaries. She requires support with personal care following an injury and needs assistance with cooking—though she can lose interest quickly, so creativity is essential!
Managing her epilepsy, anxiety, and ADHD will be part of your role, ensuring she feels supported and reassured, especially during complex seizures. Helping her maintain relationships with family and enjoy trips out will also be a big part of your day.
About Her:She is incredibly musical, having taught herself guitar in just four weeks. She is very bright, and funky, she loves wearing colourful outfits and exploring charity shops. A festival lover and fossil-collecting enthusiast, she enjoys visiting Costa and taking holidays to Yarmouth and caravan sites.
She thrives on routine and structure but can struggle with empathy and understanding her impact on others, so confidence in setting boundaries is key.
What We're Looking For:We need a mature, confident, and fun-loving person who brings positive energy. Patience and understanding are essential, along with experience in autism, epilepsy, and ADHD. You should be a great communicator who can provide support through anxious moments while enjoying music, festivals, and quirky adventures together.
Why Join Us?You'll work in a supportive environment where no two days are the same. This is your chance to make a real impact.
