What you will be doing
You will be supporting 5 people who live in their own flats and share a communal area downstairs. We have some behaviours around young people living together who have capacity in most areas but are vulnerable. Staff need to be friendly and helpful and an understanding and empathy for the people who live there.
- We have some people who hoard and need support with this, we have one gent who drinks most of the day and games through the night, he can get a bit verbal but means no harm.
- We have a young lady who we try to encourage to engage with us but its not easy as she needs support but will refuse it.
All people we support are all individuals with differing needs goals and its about reading support plans and spending time with them to see what they need from staff to enhance their lives and support them to reach their goals and inspire their dreams.
You will be trained in medication, finance and personal care.
