Who you'll be supporting & more about the role:
The people we support at this service need a team who can support them with their day to day lives, including support with medication, moving & positioning, eating & drinking, personal care, communication, and anything else they need. They all mobilise using wheelchairs, so they need support from you with moving around.
Their home has a communal garden and two communal lounges, which everyone makes use of. They have a big swing in the garden, everyone loves to use it and thinks its very funny. They also have a sensory room which is very relaxing and they all like to spend time in there.
What is important to them
They all get along with each other really well and enjoy spending time together.
They have a lot of different interests such as going to the cafe for coffee and cake, going to the cinema, oceanarium, long walks along the beach, going out for dinner and much more.
They often like to use their cars to go out and about so being a driver with a full UK licence is essential.
