Full Job Description
You will be supporting 14 adults. Each person lives in their own flat, and you will primarily provide 1:1 support, with support from a wider team across the service. This is a varied and active role, where you will work across different flats on a 2-week rolling rota, including alternate weekends. Shifts include early (8am-3pm), late (3pm-10pm), and long days, with occasional sleep-ins when required. Your role will focus on helping people live the life they choose. This could include supporting someone to go shopping, visit the cinema, enjoy a swim, or go on a train ride, as well as supporting daily routines like cooking, maintaining their home, and managing finances. Depending on the individual, you may also provide personal care, support with mobility (including wheelchairs or hoisting in some homes), and administer medication, including PEG where required. This role will include working alternate weekends, waking nights or sleepins if required and bank holidays. This will be discussed with you during the interview process and you will be matched to people we support in line with hours and patterns of shifts you are able to work.

Experience is beneficial, but not essential - what matters most is your values, attitude, resilience, and commitment to making a difference.
