Personal Assistant / Support Worker (Weekends)

As Personal Assistant/Support Worker you will help provide day to day and one to one support to service users in the supported living houses, ensuring that the support meets the high standards expected by the Trust, and enables our service users to live their lives with independence as a valued member of their local community.

We have a fantastic opportunity for an enthusiastic and self-motivated Weekend Personal Assistant/ Support Worker to join our busy and varied Supported Living team., You will be a confident communicator at all levels, highly motivated and self-driven, with a compassionate and kind approach to helping people who are disadvantaged by their disability. You will have strong leadership skills in order to motivate, support and develop a small team, and a professional approach to engaging with colleagues, service users and their families and partner agencies. You will also have excellent organisational, problem-solving skills, along with the ability to prioritise your own workload alongside the needs of the service.

Your responsibilities will be varied, and it is a fast paced working environment, so you will need to be good at multi-tasking and time management.

Experience is not essential as full training will be provided, but an understanding of adults with a learning disability within a supported living environment is desirable.

If you believe that every person should been seen and valued, this is the perfect opportunity for you to join an organisation that embraces creativity, proactive and collaborative approaches, and equity and diversity.

The Stable Family Home Trust was established over four decades ago with the aim of providing a caring and therapeutic environment for adults with learning disabilities. Over the years the Trust has diversified and strengthened its offer and now supports over 50 people through our seven Supported Living Homes, with demand for housing increasing all the time, and up to 100 people through our Day Services provision, across three beautiful sites in the Ringwood and Bournemouth areas.

We use a person-centred approach, seeing the person and not the disability, and work with each of them individually to help them develop their skills and confidence so they can live fulfilling and productive lives. With personalised care and support plans tailored to individual strengths and needs, our service users are empowered to live their lives with greater independence and choice, and to better understand their rights as a member of the community.
