Supporting people to live great lives
At Affinity Trust, we empower people to lead meaningful lives on their own terms. As a support worker, you will play a key role in promoting independence and building social connections. Your support will make a real difference in their lives.
Who will I support?
We are looking for a fun-loving person to join our brilliant team supporting a gentleman in his home in Sheffield. You will be working in his home, so it’s important you can connect and share interests. This is a hands-on role; our gentleman uses a wheelchair and loves to get out into the community. It’s crucial that you have some experience within social care. You will need to be a driver and willing to drive a mobility vehicle, as the gentleman loves to explore his local area. For this, you should have a full UK manual driving licence.
How will I make a difference?
As a support worker, you’ll be there to lend a helping hand in a way that puts the person’s needs first. This means:
* You will adapt your support to fit what each person needs and wants daily.
* You will encourage people to make their own choices, big and small.
* You will help people to do things themselves to be as independent as possible.
* You will support people to build confidence and life skills.
* You will support people to be a part of their community, joining local clubs and connecting with friends and family.
* You will be understanding, allowing people to take their time and do things at their own pace.
* You will celebrate people’s achievements, no matter how small they might seem to others.
