Your new company
You will be working for a long-standing, supported living organisation who pride themselves on the valuable support they offer their residents. You will be supporting those with learning disabilities and complex needs within a residential service with the support of the registered manager and experienced staff teams.
Your new role
Based in Port Talbot, you will assist the manager of their residential service to provide excellent person-centred care to their residents. At this service, there are 4 residents with complex needs and learning disabilities, including wheelchair users, epilepsy and catheters. You will be responsible for good monitoring practices, care plans, rota support and general day-to-day activities, to name a few.
It is a lively service, where the residents enjoy coffee mornings, theatre trips, bikeability and themed weekends, so there is always something to do.
Shifts are set out on a rota, so you must be available Monday to Sunday, and across days, nights and sleepins. You can choose to do longer shifts and fewer days, or liaise with the manager to do shorter shifts over more days, whatever would work best for your lifestyle. You will always be working with a minimum of 2 support workers, and your manager.
