As a support worker, you will provide person-centred care to two individuals with unique needs:

Lady A requires hands-on support and clean, simple communication. You will assist her with daily tasks, offering clear instructions and ensure safety due to her epilepsy and parkinsonism. Therefore, patience, attentiveness, and the ability to break down tasks into manageable steps are essential.

Lady B requires supportive and calm environment. She is verbal but relies on reassurance and consistency to manage her emotional wellbeing. With her registered blind, you’ll help ensure her environment is organised.

Both ladies may display challenging behaviour at times, therefore you must have the ability to use effective de-escalation techniques to maintain their wellbeing.

You’ll have a really rewarding role working with a great team of people and the chance to make a real difference to other people’s lives. We will support you along your career path to learn, develop and grow.
