Full Job Description
If you are looking for a role where no two days are the same, this could be the perfect fit. You will be supporting one gentleman in his own bungalow, providing 1:1 support (with some 2:1 hours), so you can really get to know him and make a genuine difference in his day-to-day life. He is active, sociable, and full of personality. You might find yourself heading off to the swimming pool, going on long walks, or supporting him to attend his favourite clubs and social interests. At home, there's always music playing, he loves dancing, playing the keyboard, and celebrating Christmas all year round (so expect decorations and a great festive atmosphere whatever the season!). Your role will involve supporting him with all aspects of daily life, including personal care, medication, meals and maintaining a home. You will also help him stay connected to the people who are important to him, supporting regular visits with his family. You will work a mix of early, late, and middle shifts between 7:30am and 10pm on a rolling rota, including weekends. There are no waking nights, but you will need to be able to commit to 1-2 sleep-ins each week. As this is a lone working role, confidence, initiative, and a positive attitude are key.
We are looking for someone who brings confidence and a genuine passion for supporting others. This is a highly rewarding role, but it does require resilience, patience, and the ability to stay calm and positive in all situations. You will be someone who enjoys being active and getting involved, whether that's heading out for long walks, getting in the pool, or joining in with music and dancing. Building a positive, fun environment will come naturally to you, and you will be confident encouraging independence while offering the right level of support. To be successful in this role, you will:
- Be a confident driver who can drive a manual vehicle (essential).
- Feel comfortable working independently and lone working.
- Be patient, proactive and emotionally resilient.
- Have excellent communication skills.
- Be flexible and reliable, able to work a range of shifts including weekends and sleep-ins. Previous experience in care or support is helpful, but not essential. We are really looking for the right values, attitude, and willingness to learn.
- A competitive payrate with uplift for overtime you chose to work
- Flexible shift patterns to suit your needs
- 30 days paid Annual Leave (including public holidays - pro rata)
- Opportunities for career progression
- We offer a salary advance scheme where you can access up to 50% of the money you've earned before payday.
