Working closely with the Service Leader and the Support Worker team, you will be responsible for two co‑tenants in their 40s who have lived together at this service for many years. We have a positive relationship but lead very different day‑to‑day lives. Our support needs are individual, and we each require dedicated 1:1 support from separate staff teams.
Our Support Needs & Challenges
Both tenants require consistent 1:1 support throughout the day. One tenant is very active, has a rolling gait, follows a SALT plan for safety, and has an epilepsy diagnosis. Strong family involvement is an important part of their life, so maintaining good communication with relatives is essential.
The other tenant also has epilepsy, with frequent seizures, so confidence and training in epilepsy management is vital. A behavioural support plan is in place and must be followed. This tenant has their own vehicle, so support staff must be able to drive.
What is important to us?
- What are our interests? – We enjoy our own space, staff company, visiting the community including club 25, playing games with staff like puzzles, watching cartoons, playing with toys and teddy’s..
- How do we describe ourselves? We are all friendly, vocal and happy people.
- What types of people would we get along with and not get along so well with? Someone who likes to laugh, has motivation and does not mind singing and dancing or loud noises.
Our Shifts: Our day shifts start from 8am and finish at 10pm sometimes there are shorter days available to cover two to ones. Our sleep shifts starts at 11pm and finishes at 8 am
Shift Requirement: We are currently recruiting for day shifts and night shifts
Contract: 1 x Part-time permanent contract available (18 hours per week)
UK Driving License Required? For day shifts, yes (for driving house vehicle). Driving license not required for night shifts.
