About the Role
You will be working as a part of a team supporting one 24 year old gentleman with learning disability and autism in his own bungalow.

He has a very active lifestyle and enjoys long walks, hikes, going to the gym, bike riding, and swimming – it is a must that you are confident getting into a pool to support him with this activity and we hope you will delight in some of his other interests as well! You will also support with his full personal care, medication, and domestic tasks such as cooking, cleaning, shopping, and laundry. Following a structured schedule is extremely important to the gentleman we support, so we value someone with strong organisational and time management skills. Positive Behaviour Support & PROACT-SCIPr training will also be provided for this role.
It is essential you hold a full UK/EU manual driving license for this role (the gentleman we support has a Mobility Vehicle that his Support Workers need to drive for him – to be able to drive a Mobility Vehicle you need to have a full UK/EU license).
