(Ref: OC6) Female Support Worker – Carmarthenshire (Exemption is claimed under the Equality Act 2010 Part 1 Schedule 9)
We are seeking a caring, reliable female support worker to assist a 14-year-old girl with Down syndrome after school, on weekends and during school holidays. The role involves providing personal care, promoting independence, supporting social participation, and ensuring safety at the home and community.
The ideal candidate will have experience in disability support, excellent communication skills and a person-centred approach that empowers our client to achieve her goals. However, experience is not essential, what is most important is your ability to engage with our client at her level, build a trusting relationship, and support her, in her best interests.
Our client is fun and chatty, and into spider man, swimming and music, so if you enjoy keeping active, having a laugh, and joining in with her interests, you’ll get along great. She’s also quietly (and playfully) competitive when it comes to games!
A full induction and training will be provided. This role is subject to an Enhanced level DBS.
