About the Client: Adam is a 37-year-old man who loves living. He had an accident when he was 6 years old and now wants to get out and socialise by completing fun activities such as the cinema, gym, and cooking. He would love to have someone friendly to do these activities with and someone who will motivate him. Due to Adam’s brain injury, his anxiety will spike at times, especially when meeting new people or initiating new activities. He would love to start going to the gym again and is keen to have his support worker by his side. His short-term memory can be unreliable, so being supported in building a structured weekly plan will be hugely beneficial.

The Role at a Glance: Adam has not employed Support Workers for the past 5 years, so this is going to be a slow and gentle process for ‘team Adam’. The right person will work with Adam in changing his daily routine, with a huge amount of positive energy and patience. You will be led by Adam, however, you’ll have the experience of knowing when to step up your guidance and support. Adam mentioned the gym, but he also loves going for day trips to National Trust properties and would eventually love to plan longer trips away. He would really like to do more cooking, so an interest in this would be hugely beneficial. Adam is also working towards volunteering again in a local café which he is excited about. The main goal during the hours spent with Adam will be to build on his confidence, showing him how much he can achieve, and keeping him on track through purposeful activities.

This Job Would Suit: An experienced male support worker who will bring previous experience of supporting adults with an Acquired Brain Injury. Having a genuine passion for this type of work is essential. A confident driver with your own car is also necessary, to enable Adam to travel further afield.

Why You’ll Love This Role: The number one reason for applying is the opportunity to work alongside Adam, a very kind and warm person, with a lovely infectious laugh. There will be extensive onboarding and training, with ongoing supervision from his fantastic case manager.
