Home, a place where you belong
Join us in this great and rewarding job to provide person-centered and strengths-based support to our customer (let's call them S) and help them reach their full potential.
S has complex needs, including a moderate learning disability and autism. S is an intelligent, independent, chatty, super direct young lady who is really into gaming, TV, the outdoors and animals. Her Plushies are super important to her, and she loves spending time with her family!
What you’ll do
• Helping S overcome barriers and help her lead a fulfilling and meaningful life and reach her true potential
• Recognising her strengths and abilities and help her take the small steps at her own pace, never losing sight of her dreams and aspirations!
• Supporting S using Positive Behavioural Support model to promote independence and social inclusion through person centred support.
• Monitoring mental and physical health to identify any signs of deterioration and take positive risk management to their health and wellbeing
• With the help of our Team Leaders and clinical team, you’ll help S to participate in her favourite things as well as trying new things through positive risk taking.
• S has sensory processing difficulties and may react strongly to touch or strong-smelling toiletries. When stressed or anxious, S may become challenging, but you’ll receive thorough training to manage these situations
