We are looking for an enthusiastic, resourceful and forward-thinking person and are excited to be recruiting a Support Worker to support M within our service in Brixham.
About the Role:
As part of the team, you will be supporting M, who lives in his own home in Brixham. M moved into his home in 2022 after spending several years in hospital in Cardiff. M is looking for someone to join his team that can support him in his own home and further enhance his daily life.
Here are some words from M’s family:
We would like M’s support team to learn as much about M as possible. This includes observations from existing carers of M’s, to interacting with those around him. Knowledge of M: anxiety, quiet moments and interests are vital to understand for all supporting M in his home. M has trouble understanding the social norms of life, but he does have a high level of intelligence that includes reading, writing, excellent memory, operating a laptop, iPad, games, and he also enjoys pen and paper hangman. Patience and flexibility with M are important and there are numerous interests he finds enjoyment in which include music, dance, stories, film scenes - called up from the internet - films and comedy series.
M also likes going out for daily drives in his car and likes Horrid Henry and Only Fools and Horse’s sitcom. M likes staff that are creative, tell funny jokes and draw his favourite characters from Horrid Henry.
If you feel you could make a real difference in M’s life, we would love to hear from you.
