Who you’ll be supporting & more about the role:

If you’re looking for an exciting role where no two days are the same, then look no further! We are recruiting experienced, confident and resilient Advanced Support Workers to support a 30-year old man who lives in his own home in Broxburn. This gentleman has autism, a learning disability and epilepsy, which can be unpredictable, so he’s looking for calm people who can provide reassurance during challenging periods. He can become fixated on things, so confidence in redirection and maintaining strong boundaries would be of great benefit to him. He uses a wheelchair to get around and is able to move this himself, but would love to spend more time getting out and about and enjoying what his community has to offer. This gentleman is really interested in trains, buses, ice-cream vans and bin lorries and would enjoy sharing his interests with his staff. He also enjoys listening to music, feeding birds and recycling. Due to an unsettled period, we are currently providing 2:1 support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In addition to supporting with hobbies, his staff will be required to support with medication administration, personal care, shopping, cooking and everyday support tasks. It is our goal to promote his independence as much as possible, so you will ensure you promote choice by using social stories to help him understand situations. Previous experience of using communication aids would be very beneficial. PBS experience would also be a great benefit.

Your values:

The ideal candidate will have a Level 3 in Social Care and strong experience in mental health, autism and sensory communication, and physical health. If you do not have a qualification, you will need to have experience in social care. You will know how to connect with people and be passionate about supporting people to live independently. You will also be a brilliant mentor and share your skills and experiences with your colleagues. We will develop your talents with a range of specialist training, including the opportunity to learn Positive Behaviour Support methods, Makaton and the Picture Exchange System. During recruitment you will meet the people we support in their home. This will allow you to see their wonderful personalities first-hand and fully understand the level of support that they require.

Naturally it is important too that you share our company values - We Include; We Deliver; We Aspire; We Respect; We Enable, which are at the heart of everything we do and ensure that we deliver high quality, consistent care and support. People's values are important to us, so we look for people with:

• Patience
• Empathy, compassion and sensitivity to others
• A strong work ethic
• Reliability
• Honesty
• Determination
• A problem solver
• Resilience
