Havencare is a forward-thinking and growing charity. We have been making a difference for 35+ years, changing the lives of people who have learning disabilities, autism, brain injuries, and other support needs.

At Havencare, first and foremost, we are looking for outstanding people who align with our values of Transparency, Quality and Engagement.

We are looking for motivated, resilient and forward-thinking people and are excited about the opportunity for you to join our team, supporting Mr B and Mr J in the Leedstown area.

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 is a man with Autism and epilepsy, in his mid-30s. He enjoys the safety of his bed and requires a sensory-filled approach.

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

Although both men have a good understanding of spoken communication, they use Makaton and other visual-based communication styles to enhance and make their wishes and preferences known.

Mr B enjoys going out for a cup of coffee and listening to 80s music whilst Mr J enjoys relaxing in the garden, watching TV or going for a drive with the windows down and the wind blowing through his hair. Both Mr B and Mr J are encouraged to go out in the fresh air to enjoy a walk or two when the weather is agreeable.

You will enjoy working as a team, identifying activities that both can enjoy and are meaningful to them.

Both men present with obsessive behaviours, communicating through these behaviours, needing you to help them cope with a world that can be confusing to them. They both have their own coping strategies and support guidance developed by those that know them well and working with external/health professionals. 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.

You will need to pay attention, picking up on all communication cues and behaviours to direct the right support.

About you

• Hold a clean and full UK driver’s license (manuall)
• Confident to support distressed behaviour
• Be a positive advocate for each men.
• Provide support during both the good times and the more difficult times.
• Both show a preference for people who are fun but can sit quietly for periods of time.
• You will be confident, able to think outside the box, with a kind and patient personality.
• You will be person led, happy to get to know and understand both men as the individuals they like to be.
• Happy to navigate systems used efficiently and fulfil your responsibilities of the role

​

About the Role

Mr S currently lives in a Bungalow in Newlyn. He requires continuous support to live with Epilepsy, Dysexecutive syndrome and the effects of a brain injury that include fatigue, cognitive impairments and difficulties with concentration or processing information. At times his social interaction and decision-making require intervention and redirecting.

No two days are the same, with communication that can very, he has false, fabricated and disoriented but unintentional memories that he truly believes are true. These aren't deliberate lies; they are his memories. He will talk about many different topics which can be a mix of factual and non-factual information.

One day he can be motivated to do many things but the next day maybe different. It is very important to him that his team understand this, and the impact he can cause him. Mr S needs you to work in a way that is responsive, proactive and consider ongoing adjustments.

Mr S is mobile but will sometimes use sticks to help with balance. He can do a lot for himself but needs prompting and reassurance with certain aspects of day-to-day living. He will require support to access the community, to attend appointments and meetings.

He enjoys spending time wandering around the local area, having a coffee and watching the world pass by. He is a bit of a foody and will often choose to eat out, relaxing in The Queens Hotel or enjoying hearty pub grub.
