About the Role
Mr B is a man with a diagnosis of Autism in his late 50s. He loves a cuppa and interaction with staff. Recently, his health has declined and needs support to recognise how he is feeling and to take action with appointments etc.

Mr J can at times express himself in a distressed state.
This role requires confidence and an understanding of supporting a person in distress. Being curious and non-judgemental to focus on why something happened opposed to what happened through ‘off-loading’ and reflecting on practice

Both men require reassurance and consistency to feel safe and understood.
Both Mr B and Mr J require 1:1 support throughout their day, with some additional 2:1 to support community activities and sharing overnight support. A consistent, relaxed and observant approach at all times and encouraging a healthy sleep routine overnight.

The Swindon Young Parents service is split across two sites: one in Toothill and one in Pinehurst. We provided strength-based and trauma-informed support to customers aged 16-25 who have become or are about to become young parents. The housing-related support we offer focuses on developing skills in customers so they will become ready to live independently in their own home.
The Support Workers have a regular caseload of their own customers but provide broader support to all customers in the service and travel to both sites will be necessary. Support Workers provide both 1-2-1 support to customers and run larger group activities with a focus on maintaining their homes, tenancies, providing for their families and being good neighbours and tenants.
In addition to support tasks like multi-agency liaison and advocacy; the Support Workers at the scheme take a lead on ensuring safe homes are provided to our customers and will support customers to raise repairs, keep on top of their rent and service charge, and monitor for Health and Safety issues around the sites.
