Jellicoe Court is home to 18 adults, each with their own unique personality, aspirations, and preferences. We partner with individuals who may have learning disabilities, autism, or acquired brain injuries. Some people may communicate their needs or express themselves in ways that require understanding, patience, and a positive approach, and may also live with health conditions like epilepsy or diabetes. Our focus is always on understanding each person and enabling them to live well on their own terms. Jellicoe Court is a bright, modern community where each individual enjoys the independence of their own self-contained flat. The service also boasts welcoming communal spaces where everyone comes together – whether it’s for movie nights, themed parties, or karaoke sessions. Additionally, we have a lovely garden for those who like to relax, enjoy fresh air, and participate in outdoor activities. As someone who works alongside the people living here, your days will be varied and rewarding. You might be enabling Claire* to choose and buy what she needs at the local shops or assisting Matthew* to manage his health by attending his diabetes nurse appointment. No two days will be the same because everyone’s day is shaped by their own choices and interests. You will join a team passionate about enabling people to live the lives they choose and making a positive difference. You’ll receive great training and mentorship from colleagues, focusing on how to work in partnership with people to achieve their goals and aspirations. This role encompasses all aspects of daily life which includes, showering, bathing, and personal hygiene, always with a focus on dignity, respect, and promoting independence wherever possible.
