Female Support Worker

Fun, empowering Female Support Worker needed! To help two ladies with learning disabilities thrive & shine! Hi, we are two young ladies who live in our own homes, who are based in Yeadon and Rawdon in Leeds. We are looking for Female team members to help support us to live our best lives and seek out adventure...could you be the right fit?

We are both big music fans and we enjoy musical/theatre shows, eating out sometimes, the cinema, being creative and learning new things. Day-to-Day, we have individual activities that are supported outside of our home, these include Mind the Gap which is England's leading learning disability performance and live arts company and SORM (School Of Rock and Media) and being supported by a PA to go to the cinema, crafting and meeting friends, going to college and new experiences. As well as spending time with our families when we are not at the house.

We will need you to be able to work your fair share of bank holidays, weekends and sleep ins – this is essential and is an absolute must. The people who know and care for us say we are awesome, polite young ladies who both have a great sense of humour. We can be shy when we initially meet new people, but once we are relaxed, we love to chat. We also like drawing and cooking – we are very independent and really want to build on this with the right support.

When we are out and about we need support to ensure that we are safe, we love to speak with people and engage with our community and what’s on around it. This makes us feel good and brightens others' days. Could you be the perfect match for us? We like people who are always reliable, calm but also fun loving, a good listener with a sense of adventure to support us.

IDIDIT supports people that have Autism and Learning Disabilities, and other additional support needs to have real positive change in their lives regardless of their age or circumstances.

Our work is based on a Human Rights Approach, empowering people to live their life to its fullest potential whilst being active citizens within their community.

We believe that we all need support at different times in our lives and with the right kind of support all of us can flourish and be full and active citizens.

• Inclusion: Ensuring that the person is included in all aspects of planning and decision‑making processes. Their input and preferences are respected and considered essential in creating effective support plans.
• Dignity: Maintaining the respect and dignity of the person at all times. This encompasses treating them with kindness, empathy, and fairness, and valuing their individual worth.
• Independence: Encouraging and supporting the person’s autonomy. Empowering people to make their own choices and supporting their ability to live as independently as possible.
• Diversity: Learning disabilities and autism can significantly influence and shape a person's experience and interaction with the world. Understanding the culture surrounding these conditions is crucial for creating inclusive environments. Recognising and respecting the person’s unique background, culture, and beliefs. Ensuring that services are culturally sensitive and tailored to meet diverse needs.
• Innovation: Using creative and flexible approaches to meet the individual needs and preferences of the person. This may include adopting new technologies, methodologies, and values that enhance people’s support.
• Training: Providing comprehensive and ongoing training for our colleagues. This ensures that they are well-equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to deliver high-quality, person-centred support.

We Believe that:

• Everyone should always be central to all planning and decision-making, with their input and preferences being fundamental to developing effective support plans.
• Everyone deserves to have their inherent worth respected and upheld through consistency, reliability, kindness, empathy, and fair treatment in every interaction.
• Everyone should be empowered to exercise their autonomy, make their own choices, and be supported to live as independently as possible.
• Everyone has unique backgrounds, cultures, and beliefs that must be recognised and respected to ensure culturally sensitive and tailored support.
• Everyone benefits from creative and flexible approaches that adapt to their individual needs and preferences, including the adoption of innovative practices.
• Everyone is best supported by colleagues who receive comprehensive and ongoing training, equipping them with the skills for high-quality, person-centred care.
