We’re looking for a warm, understanding Support Companion to help an individual enjoy greater independence, comfort, and connection in their daily life. In this role, you’ll be offering friendly support with community activities—whether that’s relaxing with a coffee in town, browsing a local garden centre, or helping with regular shopping trips. You’ll also provide gentle home-based assistance, including domestic support and personal hygiene care, ensuring the home feels safe, calm, and welcoming.
This is a wonderful opportunity for someone who enjoys creativity, as crafting is a much-loved part of the person’s routine. A love of animals is also essential, as you’ll be spending time with a friendly dog who is very much part of the family. Sensory sensitivity is an important part of this person’s world, so patience, empathy, and a calm approach are key. Experience supporting individuals with epilepsy is required to ensure confident and responsive care.
If you’re compassionate, reliable, and excited by the idea of making a real difference through everyday companionship, we’d love to hear from you.
Duties include:
- Personal grooming
- Other relevant duties as required
- Administration
- Housekeeping
- Shopping
- Cooking
- Transportation
- Companionship
- Looking after pets
- Dressing / undressing
- Bathroom assistance
Candidate qualities:
- Respectful of the employer's privacy and confidentiality
- Reliable with good timekeeping
- Able to both follow instructions and work on own initiative
- Hygienic, tidy and well organised
- Fit and healthy to undertake the required duties
- Patient and possess excellent interpersonal skills
- Honest and cheerful
- Creative
- Able to speak and read English to a reasonable standard
- Must be comfortable with pets
- Able to always work to high standards of health & safety
