The Role
At Real Life Options, we provide person-centred support to enable individuals to live the life they choose. Support is tailored to each individual, ensuring they have choice and control over their support planning and delivery. You will support them to reach their potential by providing physical and emotional support, encouraging positive relationships, and helping them achieve their goals.
You'll work alongside an experienced and friendly team in a role that allows you to make a real difference. We seek committed and caring individuals with excellent communication skills.
The shifts include day shifts and sleepovers. You will provide direct support to an elderly gentleman who enjoys being active in the community, social activities like dining out, swimming, and visiting family.
This role involves preparing and administering medication, cooking meals from scratch, attending healthcare appointments, shopping, personal care, managing finances, and domestic tasks.
Previous experience of support work is advantageous but not essential, as full training will be provided. A full UK driving license is also beneficial but not required.
An enhanced Adult PVG check is necessary for this role.
