About the Role
This part-time role is to join an established support team assisting our client to live as independently as possible in his own home and in the community. Although you’d be part of a wider and supportive team, you’d be working one-to-one with our client.
He’s a man in his mid 30’s who has a brain injury and epilepsy, and walks with a gait. He can be a little shy at first (and his speech can initially be a little hard to understand until you get to know him), but once he gets to know you, he’s an affable, caring and easy to talk to.
He loves farm animals – especially cows and pigs - and enjoys visiting farms and cattle shows, and works on a farm once a week. He likes to recycle, and he has a tank for tropical fish.
Our client also enjoys visits to Manchester airport to see the planes; he’s a fan of transport in general and is always very keen to go to train stations.
There will be domestic duties to perform, like cleaning and cooking. However, he doesn’t need any personal care - just prompts to shave, take a shower and brush his teeth, for example.
You will be required to drive our client’s car and be competent in driving both manual and automatic vehicles. This means that it is essential that you have a full driving licence and are a confident driver. You will also need to have business insurance on your own vehicle. Most drives with our client will be short local journeys but longer drives are possible when he goes on holiday.

3) To work alongside him with some household tasks, like ironing, washing, cleaning, hoovering.
4) To carry out light domestic duties in his/her house as appropriate, such as vacuuming, washing, and ironing.
5) To act as a driver, using his vehicle mainly locally, and further afield if needed e.g. to the Lake District, Cleethorpes, Bakewell etc
6) To provide daytime, evening, and overnight support on a weekend within a 24-hour support package.
7) To have availability enough to offer occasional cover for staff holidays and sickness – which may include weekdays.
8) To aid and support the client as directed by the Case Manager/Team Leader.
9) To follow an agreed approach, and use strategies documented in the support plan, working in collaboration with the client’s family, case manager, team leader and any other professionals when required.
10) To undertake training and supervision as agreed by the Case Manager.
