(Ref: BW2) Support Worker – Cardiff
I am 23 years old and have complex health needs due to a diagnosis of cerebral palsy. I need 24/7 2:1 support in all areas of daily life and require lots of support on a daily basis with personal care, communication, mobility and with rehabilitation exercises. I am described by the people as having a great sense of humour and I really enjoy being around other people. By those who know me best I’m described as ‘a bit cheeky, knowing my own mind, great fun and loving’.
I am looking for enthusiastic, fun, patient and reliable support worker to help me engage in the activities I love, including bowling, the cinema and music concerts. The ideal candidate will be comfortable working in a home with cats and should have a compassionate attitude toward animals. You would also need to take me to some therapy appointments. You will need to be calm and patient under pressure with the ability to work your hours flexibly and will be part of my amazing team which is led by my parents and case manager.
A full induction and training will be provided. This role is subject to an Enhanced level DBS.
