Role Overview
The service is a four-bedroom supported living home located on a quiet, private street in a lovely area. There is an element of lone working within this role, so confidence and the ability to work independently are essential. The environment is person-centred, positive and focused on enabling independence while providing the right level of support when needed.
One of the individuals you will support is a gentleman with Down’s Syndrome and a mild learning disability who truly loves life and thrives on being active. He enjoys playing his guitar and busking. He has a fun, energetic personality and benefits from a positive, structured routine. With your support, he will continue to develop life skills, build confidence and maintain a healthy and active lifestyle. Encouraging his interests, as well as promoting healthy eating and exercise, will be an important part of your role. A good sense of humour and a proactive, upbeat approach will help you connect and bring out the best in him.
You will also support a second individual who has low support needs and is largely independent. He is autistic and values his own routine and personal space, and has made excellent progress in becoming more independent. Your role will involve providing gentle guidance around budgeting, supporting him to attend medical appointments if needed and helping him continue his journey towards fully independent living. He enjoys his independence and may spend time on his own, so understanding and respecting this is key.
