We have some fantastic new job opportunities within a brand-new Supported Living service
opening in the Southbourne area in January for enthusiastic and self-motivated Personal
Assistant/ Support Workers.

The Stable Family Home Trust is a values-led organisation where people always come first. Our
main purpose is to support adults with learning disabilities to develop the skills and confidence
that  enable  them  to  live  their  lives  as  independently  as  possible;  to  participate  in  their  local
communities and be valued for the extraordinary contribution they make to our society. We run
a  varied  and exciting  day  services programme from our three sites in Christchurch, Ringwood
and Southbourne, and  run  supported  living and residential living services in Southbourne and
Ringwood.

The Trust is a Registered Charity established in 1980 by a group of families whose young adult
children had learning disabilities - we now support over 100 people every year.

About You:

You  are  a  kind,  patient,  and  reliable  individual  who  is  passionate  about  making  a  positive
difference  in  the  lives  of  adults  with  learning  disabilities.  You  understand  the  importance  of
promoting  independence,  dignity  and  choice,  and  you're  committed  to  providing  person-
centred support that respects each individual's unique needs and preferences.

Experience  in support or care  work  is  desirable, however,  what matters most is your  attitude,
your willingness to learn, and your ability to build trust and genuine relationships. You will be a
good  communicator,  team  player,  and  someone  who  brings  warmth,  empathy,  and
professionalism to everything you do.

You  will  be  comfortable  supporting  people  with  day-to-day  tasks  such  as  personal  care,
cooking,  attending  appointments,  or  accessing  the  local  community,  and  you  do  so  in  a  way
that  empowers  and  promote
independence.  You  will  be  adaptable,  dependable,  and
understand the importance of boundaries, confidentiality, and safeguarding.

About the Role:

As a Personal Assistant/Support Worker you will help provide day-to-day core and one-to-one
support  to  service  users  in  the  supported  living  houses,  ensuring  that  the  support  meets  the
high  standards  expected  by  the  Trust,  and  enables  our  service  users  to  live  their  lives  with
independence as a valued member of their local community.

UK based candidates with the right to work in the UK (we cannot provide visa sponsorship).

You  must  be  able  to  work  weekends,  evenings  and  some  Bank  Holidays  (including
Christmas) and cover some sleep-in shifts.
