This vacancy is more than ‘just a job’.
Your role as a Support Worker will be to provide support to one woman to enable her to develop her ability to live independently at a pace that is appropriate to her.
This lady has been experiencing complex long-term disability, including autism, anxiety, depression and ME (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) and CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome), and has recently moved to her own home.
Your role will be varied, as you will help her to stay organised in her home, undertake housekeeping, shopping, cooking and baking. As part of the role, there will be some intimate personal care duties involved.
You will help her to build her confidence, provide companionship and emotional support, share opportunities for fun (such as arts and crafts, trips out etc), enable her to join in local community activities and help with communications.
