OVERVIEW We are looking for active, enthusiastic, bubbly, compassionate and caring female support workers to join a small team of dedicated all female support staff who provide high quality, 24/7 care and support for a person in their late twenties. The young person has a preference for support workers of a similar age to themselves as they are very active and like animals and the outdoors. The applicant will need to have a current enhanced DBS. The young person has their own car which is used daily, so applicants must be able to drive and have a clean licence. Ideally we are looking for someone who wants part time work. A day shift runs from 9am to 6pm or 9 hours, so we are looking for a minimum of 18 hours or 2 days each week this could include a Saturday, for which a premium is paid. The location is north west London so applicants need to live within a maximum 1 hour commute of the location. The applicant must have the right to work in the UK. We are not able to offer sponsorships. Skills The applicant must have some experience of working with vulnerable adults with a mild learning disability and preferably have had some training and/or qualifications in social care. It is important that any applicant can work within a small team and provide constructive support to other members of the team as required. The applicant will need to communicate verbally with the young person and so needs to be able to speak good English. The applicant should be able to cook basic food, understand health and safety matters around food storage and preparation and preferably have had some training or experience in this area. Duties Your duties will include supporting the young person in all aspects of their work and volunteering activities, which currently centre around animal activities such as volunteering at animal facilities, animal hospitals and animal sanctuaries. Support workers would be expected to get involved in the activity themselves to help motivate the young person and maintain their interest in the activity. Many of the activities will be of physical and outdoor nature, which take place throughout the year and, potentially, in all weathers so the candidate needs to be aware of this. As the activities are to a large degree animal related and in the outdoors an up to date tetanus is advisable and actually required for certain activities. There is also time for leisure activities and so support workers would be expected to provide companionship and participation in those activities too. These activities could take place during the day time, evening or weekend so there may be the opportunity for an extended day or evening and night time work from time to time .
