About the recipient
This role is to support a 30‑year‑old female living in Beverley, who is a mum of four children. She is seeking two support workers to provide a total of 24 hours per week, including cover for one another.
The purpose of this support is to help alleviate unavoidable pressures around the home, particularly during times when tasks build up due to physical limitations. The individual values her independence and likes to take care of things herself; however, due to reduced physical ability and slow movement - particularly down the left side of her body - daily tasks can take longer and sometimes become overwhelming.
There is a risk of falls, which may temporarily increase her need for support, causing household duties to fall behind and accumulate. Support workers will work with her, not take over, to ensure that tasks are completed in a way that maintains her dignity, independence, and emotional wellbeing.
The individual loves animals and has two friendly dogs in the home. Support workers must therefore be comfortable working around pets.
This role is about building a trusting, respectful relationship that promotes independence while providing practical and emotional support when needed.
