About the Role Sugarman Health and Wellbeing are looking for a Male Support Worker within the Leeds area who can support alongside a male service user, who has Autism, Learning Disabilities, PTSD and Challenging Behaviours. Our Support Worker roles are considered more of a companionship role by building up key relationships and promoting independence through daily tasks for our service user within his own home, and especially within the community. Support Workers must have experience or willing to learn and communicate through British Sign language. Our Service User is supported on a 2:1 basis, with activities that will be based around what he enjoys doing, but most importantly, suggesting new ideas and opportunities that serve the service user's best interests, by going above and beyond. At times, he will display behaviours that challenge and require staff to support him to self-regulate. You will need to communicate with him effectively and appropriately. You will also be given the opportunity to build a positive relationship with the Service User and their family. We are looking for someone who is resilient, strong-minded, but also outgoing, and is willing to face challenges. Why Join Sugarman Health and Wellbeing?
