Looking for a job where you can make a real difference every day? If you're looking for more than just a 9–5— this could be the opportunity for you!
We're looking for a positive, caring and motivated individual to join our friendly #TeamAlexandra as a Support Practitioner on a full-time (39 hours per week), permanent basis.
Our team and the people we support
Alexandra is a housing support service to four individuals with multiple and varying support needs.
The people we support are fun loving and enjoy being out and about. When not out on a day trip, they enjoy doing a spot of gardening, dancing to the sounds of Abba, Russ Abbot, Tina Turner (all the typical party tunes!) and some cooking or baking to name a few things.
We support individuals with attending work placements and social activities in the community as well as support at home with many aspects of daily living.
With such a varied group of people, every day is different!
Due to the people we support having their own mobility cars, it would be great if you had a full manual UK drivers licence with 1 years experience on the roads but this isn’t a deal breaker for the right candidate.
One of the individuals enjoys swimming so you would need to be happy to support them in the water.
