We’re seeking a compassionate and dedicated Female Support Assistant to support a young woman in living as independently as possible and achieving her full potential. This is a unique opportunity to provide tailored practical, emotional, and social support as part of a close-knit team delivering her personalised care plan.
No prior experience in care is required, what truly matters is your empathy, resilience, and a positive mindset. You’ll need physical and mental stamina, a zest for life, the ability to be fully present during your time on duty, and most importantly… a great sense of humour! This role is as rewarding as it is varied, offering you the chance to help someone grow in independence, create lasting connections, and experience the joy of knowing your work truly matters.
You’ll support a young woman with complex learning disabilities and non-verbal communication who leads an inspiring and activity-filled life. Her days include yoga, swimming, music therapy, collaborating with a top London orchestra, outdoor adventures, and enjoying delicious food. Every day brings new experiences, making this role engaging, inspiring, and full of purpose.
