Summary

I am seeking a high calibre person to join my long-established team rated as “Outstanding” by the CQC.

Following an accident, I have made a substantial recovery and am now living independently within my own property on the outskirts of Salisbury with support during the day. I am capable of managing life on my own in the evenings and at night-time. I do not require personal care but instead require someone with high levels of positive energy, enthusiasm, and dedication.

I am a fit and mobile fifty something man with a thirst for life and adventure. I am seeking a support worker to join my team permanently for 24-36 hours per week, who have a reputation for providing support in an understanding, flexible and empathetic way.

I have a structured timetable designed with me to access meaningful and enjoyable activities within the community, which provides me with a sense of purpose, fulfilment, and self-worth. I sometimes find life challenging and frustrating, due to my brain injury however I have a structured program which enables me to work with my team to overcome these difficulties.
I am seeking a person with a strong desire to have a positive effect on me, and a commitment to supporting and promoting my individual needs, skills, abilities, and personal goals.

Personal qualities of resilience, empathy and self-confidence are as important as previous experience. Although an understanding of behavioural management would be an advantage. Having similar interests in the outdoors and walking which I enjoy and try to do regularly, so being fit is important!

Full driving licence and own car essential. Mileage on shift is paid at .45p per mile.

We use a 3-week rolling rota and you would be expected to work 2 weeks of 2 x 12-hour shifts and 1 week of 3 shifts x 12 hours, a fixed rota is already in operation by the team but there is some flexibility if needed.
(To include a Saturday and Sunday each third weekend).
You will be required to help cover holiday and sickness as and when needed.

£12.00 per hour Monday - Saturday
£13.39 per hour Sundays

This position requires a fully enhanced disclosure request from the DBS.
Please note we reserve the right to interview and appoint earlier than the stated closing date, should there be an excellent response to the advert.
