Who will I be supporting?
You’ll be supporting a friendly young woman in her early 30s who has a learning disability and a personality disorder. She’s settling into her lovely supported living home and enjoys socialising and chatting.
She has a pet cat, so you’ll need to be comfortable around cats.

She is independent with personal care but appreciates friendly reminders and encouragement. You’ll provide prompting and active support with:
Meal preparation
Medication
Grocery shopping
Household tasks (cooking, cleaning, laundry)
She has her own Motability car, so a full, clean UK driving licence is desirable.
You’ll need a strong understanding of risk management to maintain appropriate boundaries and structures, enabling her to live safely while reaching her goals.
Specialised Positive Behaviour Support training will be provided, but previous experience supporting people with complex behavioural, emotional, and/or mental health needs is essential.
What shifts are available?
Variety of shift patterns available however are generally 8am -10pm with a sleep-in afterwards.
