This role will be supporting four ladies that live in a single storey house. They have an enclosed garden with a gazebo and there is plenty room for them to relax. They have a shared kitchen with large table which is also good for doing arts and crafts. They also have a living room with large television and has a karaoke machine. Off street parking is available in front of the building. They enjoy arts and crafts, bingo, theatre, shopping, cafes and days out. They are friendly, sociable and like a laugh and also like dancing, karaoke and pamper nights. We are looking for support workers that are confident as nervous workers make them anxious. There are at least 2 of our colleagues on shift, usually 3 during the day. We are looking for one full time Support Worker and one Part Time Support Worker for 21 hours. We have a variety of shifts including 8am to 3pm, 3pm to 10pm and a sleepover shift covering 3pm to 3pm. A driving license would be beneficial but not essential.
