A bit about the people we support in this services:
We are recruiting for 2 services (bungalows) in close proximity in Ystrad Mynach.
In one bungalow, we support four independent and active ladies (30s-70s) who love engaging in their local community-whether it's cinema trips, walks in the park, coffee outings, or attending clubs. Each has their own Motability vehicle, and enjoys a mixture of solo and shared activities. While they're quite independent, they value support with medication, meal prep, and day-to-day tasks like housekeeping and health & safety checks. Strong family connections are a key part of their lives.
In the other bungalow, we support one lady and one gentleman (both 60s-70s). The lady has complex physical needs and uses an electric wheelchair and PEG for her feeds and medications-full training will be provided. She enjoys music, playing piano, and daily contact with family. The gentleman is a music and film enthusiast who enjoys community outings, charity shopping, and weekend visits with his sister.
