I am a 27-year-old lady with cerebral palsy living in an adapted property in Hendy with my parents and siblings. I use a wheelchair and am hoisted for all transfers, requiring 2:1 support throughout the day. I have complex physical needs and receive weekly input from an occupational therapist. I am unable to communicate verbally but have developed ways to express my needs and feelings.
A typical day involves assistance with personal care and physio in the mornings, followed by outings such as going to the cinema, brunch/lunch, shopping, or enjoying coffee & cake. I also like being pampered, visiting the hairdresser, and having my nails done. I am fun, adventurous, have a wicked sense of humor, and love banter. I seek a positive, supportive individual who can help me access my interests and try new activities.
I am looking for someone who will integrate well with my existing small team of support workers, who are friendly, outgoing, and share similar interests. Despite my disability, I want to live life to the fullest and have fun. If this sounds like you, please apply — I would love to meet you!
To join me as a support worker, you need to:
* Be able to drive and have use of a car (to get to and from my house and attend training; your personal car would not be used during work hours as I have my own vehicle).
* Be able to drive my adapted vehicle to take me out.
* Have experience in care, preferably supporting someone with a birth injury such as cerebral palsy, and experience supporting communication difficulties.
* Enjoy working as part of a team.
This role is subject to an Enhanced level DBS check. Full induction and training will be provided.
Top Reasons to Apply:
* Above the industry average for pay
* Mileage rate - 45p per mile
* Work directly for our client, not an agency, allowing for meaningful time with the client
* Great opportunity for professional development
* Part of an expert multi-disciplinary team
