We all deserve a supportive team and an organisation that cares about us and our development. We currently have a rare opportunity available to join a stable, friendly, and supportive team in the S6 & S11 area of Sheffield, supporting fabulous people with learning disabilities and autism to live their lives exactly how they want. Our person-centred focus means everyone is supported to engage in the activities, hobbies and interests that are important to them. One of the lady's loves going to watch musicals and playing hide and seek with her toys, the other lady enjoys going for long drives with the windows down and loves going over the speed bumps, and the gentleman we support loves sitting by the speakers listening to his favourite music.
They each live in their own bungalows next door to each other and will frequently pop in and visit each other. Their bungalows are set in a beautiful semi-rural setting overlooking the Bradfield Valley that's still within easy access of the city.
Day to day they need varying levels of support with personal care, meal preparation, medication administration and household tasks such as cooking, cleaning and laundry. One of the lady's uses a wheelchair outside of her home so there are some elements of manual handling involved.
Shifts are 7am - 2:30pm and then 2:30pm - 10pm or if you're doing the sleep-in shifts then it's 2:30pm - 7am the following morning, with the sleep in shift included from 11pm - 7am.
Dimensions are one of the country's largest not-for-profit organisations supporting people with learning difficulties, autism, behaviours of distress and complex needs and we are driven by our values. People with learning disabilities and their families are at the heart of everything we do.
