Crynodeb
Independence means everything to Lou. She’s passionate about living life on her own terms – alongside her partner and their cat. Lou values having people around her who respect her choices and treat her like the adult she is.
Essential for this job
This position has a ‘genuine occupational requirement’ covered under the Sex Discrimination Act 1975 and therefore only applications from females are requested.
Lou currently enjoys spending most of her time with her partner, but she also makes daily phone calls to her team to offload what is on her mind. These conversations are important to her, and she can spend quite a bit of time talking, so it’s essential that staff are patient, good listeners, and avoid interrupting her.
She needs people who can give her the time and space to express herself fully. Lou is a kind, caring person with a great sense of humour. She used to love a good practical joke and still enjoys a laugh when the mood strikes. She has enjoyed music, dancing, and the theatre—interests that may return in the future.
At times, Lou can find it difficult to manage her emotions. Your role will be to provide steady emotional support—offering patience, kindness, and understanding when she needs it most. You'll help create a sense of emotional security, supporting Lou as she begins to explore, understand, and manage her feelings more confidently.
Lou is looking for someone with a warm, nurturing presence—a maternal figure—who is both caring and consistent. She values kindness but also needs clear boundaries and someone who can stick to them. There may be times when Lou feels overwhelmed and reacts with risky behaviours or negativity toward those around her.
In these moments, it's essential that you remain calm, confident, and grounded, offering her the reassurance she needs. Good emotional intelligence is essential within this role. While the role is primarily emotional support over the phone, it’s important that you’re also open to providing practical help when needed—and ready to gently guide Lou toward recognising the positives in her life.
Ideally you will:
Be patient with excellent listening skills
Be thick skinned and don’t take comments personally
Person-centred and sees the person before the behaviour
Self-motivated and keen to learn
Positive and sees the good in others
Be committed to the values of inclusion
Be reliable and flexible
Benefits:
We reward our staff with competitive salaries
We offer an Award Winning Pension Scheme
We have a company sick pay scheme
Excellent annual leave allowance, including top up pay
Critical Illness cover, reassurance when you need it the most
Life Insurance, reassurance for your family when they need it the most
A really good mandatory induction
Ongoing high quality training
Career development opportunities
A real chance to make a difference to someone's life
