The person we support is highly independent, he enjoys restoring furniture, gardening, chess, science experiments, playing guitar, shopping, and holidays. He prefers to be seen as part of the team rather than someone receiving support, so engagement and communication are key! The best approach is to involve him naturally instead of asking him to complete a task, simply express that you need help and watch him step in eagerly.
This role requires experience working with complex behaviours and confidence in managing situations that may escalate. You’ll be part of a team that values proactive engagement and communication.
About You
You’ll have previous experience as a Support Worker, ideally with exposure to complex needs and behaviours of distress. You’ll be resilient, adaptable, and committed to providing person-centred care. Strong communication skills and the ability to remain calm under pressure are essential.
