Support Worker - Female Driver

We have a great role supporting an older gentleman to live more independently. He has a great sense of humour and loves to have a joke, he\’s a bit of a wind up. His passion is cars and motorcycles, so if you had an interest in these things that would be great. He has a brain injury, and is paralysed from the chest down but doesn\’t need support with transfers; he does have learning difficulties and mental health struggles. Part of your role would be to support with his colostomy bag and full personal care, along with medication administration and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. To make the most of your time together, we need people who are local to Alton and know the area. You MUST hold a Full UK Driving Licence and be able to drive a MANUAL VEHICLE. Enriching activities will be an important factor in your support, and you will bring a wonderfully empathetic approach to truly make a difference to this person\’s life.
