About the Role
You'll be supporting a gentleman in his 40s who lives in his own home in Hemel Hempstead. He has a big garden and a love for the outdoors, so if you enjoy nature, you'll be in good company! This is a 1-to-1 support role where your support will help him lead a fulfilling, independent life.
He has a wide range of interests including going on holidays (he's been to Prague and Benidorm!), Listening to music on his CD player and adding to his collection, playing board games and enjoying long walks in his local community and spending time with his family, who are actively involved in his life.
This role offers flexibility with a mixture of long shifts and shorter shifts. You'll work a weekend once a month, including a 14-hour shift (7:30am - 10pm, with a sleep-in, finishing at 7:30am the next day). We ensure that shift patterns are provided at least 4 weeks in advance, so you can plan your life around your work.
