About the Role

In this rewarding role, you will be supporting two individuals with learning disabilities and complex needs in their own home, helping them to live fulfilling and independent lives.

One gentleman who is non-verbal but communicates through gestures and behaviour, and understands simple instructions. He thrives on routine and enjoys being actively engaged but without guidance, he may become unsettled. He loves being in water and benefits from sensory-rich experiences, including strong flavours and varied food choices. He enjoys being around people and values close, trusting relationships. He will need encouragement to access the community, including attending a day centre, and support with tasks such as shopping which can be overstimulating. You’ll play a key role in understanding his behaviours, meeting his sensory needs, and supporting his overall wellbeing.

One lady who uses limited verbal communication but clearly expresses her needs through simple language, repetition, and non-verbal cues. She enjoys social interaction, activities such as crafts, colouring, and outings, and values being around others. She has achieved a good level of independence and continues to develop important life skills, including making drinks and making choices about her day. She may at times display behaviours of distress, so you’ll be trained in Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) approaches to help understand triggers, adapt communication, use reassurance and distraction techniques, and responding safely in crisis situations.

Duties could include:

• Provide high-quality personal care and emotional support, ensuring dignity, respect, and wellbeing at all times
• Support individuals with daily routines and community access, including appointments, day services, and social activities
• Promote independence, choice, and control, supporting individuals to develop and maintain daily living skills
• Plan and deliver meaningful, person-centred activities at home and in the community, encouraging engagement and new experiences
• Set and support achievement of personal goals, breaking them into manageable steps and adapting approaches as needed
• Use Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) approaches to understand behaviour, identify triggers, and support emotional regulation
• Respond appropriately to behaviours of distress, using de-escalation techniques and following safety and support plans
• Monitor health and wellbeing, including administering medication and promoting a healthy, balanced lifestyle, keeping digital records
• Support with meal planning and preparation, considering dietary needs, preferences, and sensory requirements
• Carry out light household duties and work collaboratively as part of a proactive team, maintaining accurate records and communication
