We offer a supportive environment, competitive salary, and a wide range of benefits designed to help you flourish - both in your career and personal life. About the Role You’ll be joining a small team providing personalised, one‑to‑one support. The young man you’ll be working with would like to introduce himself in his own words: "Hi! I am a young man with a brain injury looking for a fun, energetic personal assistant to join my team and help me get the most out of life. A bit about me - I'm into wheelchair skiing, Boccia, boxing, eating out and loads of outdoor activities. I like to keep busy, have a laugh and get out and about as much as possible. I do have dogs so you must be a dog lover - that's a non-negotiable! Because of my brain injury, I sometimes repeat myself (a lot!), so patience and a good sense of humour are really important. If you are the sort of person who can laugh things off, keep things positive and bring good energy, we'll probably get along great. While I love being active, I also have down days where I like to relax, watch TV, play games, and just chill out. I also do regular physio and speech and language therapy, sometimes I find this boring and hard work, so I need staff who can bring lots of motivation, understanding and encouragement and who are creative and can make it as fun and interesting as possible." You must have a clean, full UK driving licence to be able to drive the person we support’s vehicle. You’ll also need relevant care experience and be comfortable wearing loose-fitting clothing to avoid sensory triggers. As mentioned, full training - especially around behaviour support and bespoke manual handling will be provided. Why Choose Prosperity Care & Wellbeing? We believe that when you care for your team, they can care better for others. That’s why we offer: Comprehensive in-house induction and ongoing specialist training Career progression and development opportunities Access to Vivup employee benefits Lifestyle savings 24/7 Employee Assistance Program Free online counselling Online GP access Cycle-to-work scheme Home & electronics salary-sacrifice schemes Employee wellbeing programmes Free parking in designated areas across Gloucestershire Enhanced DBS provided Equal Opportunities We welcome applications from individuals of all backgrounds and believe that diversity strengthens our team.
