Havencare is a forward-thinking and growing charity. We have been making a difference for 35 years, changing the lives of people who have learning disabilities, autism, brain injuries, and other support needs. Our big aims include every person having a home that is right for them, and support for the life they choose.
At Havencare, first and foremost, we are looking for outstanding people who align with our values of Transparency, Quality and Engagement.
We are looking for enthusiastic, resourceful and forward-thinking people and are excited to be recruiting Support Workers to support JOSD and BROP within our service in Leedstown.
About the Role:
This role requires a driver with a full UK manual driving licence, as driving the mobility vehicle is an essential part of supporting the individuals. It is also beneficial to get to the service due to limited public transport being available.
The people we support enjoy getting out in the community visiting cafes for a coffee, visiting supermarkets for their weekly shop and enjoying walks around the Cornish coast.
JOSD has a diagnosis of autism and epilepsy, for which he takes regular prescribed medication. He is a bright and intelligent individual who communicates his wants, choices, likes, and dislikes clearly and confidently though Makaton and showing what he wants, he benefits from regular reassurance to ensure he feels confident that he is completing tasks correctly and making sensible decisions.
BROP has a diagnosis of autism and also takes regular medication. He communicates well with Makaton and would benefit from someone who can be calm and patient in their understanding.
Family relationships are very important to them. They enjoy spending time with family, who are actively involved, positive, and highly supportive, while also encouraging their independence and autonomy.
The ideal support worker will be reliable, patient, and reassuring, with a genuine interest in promoting independence, supporting decision‑making, and enabling them to continue enjoying an active and fulfilling lifestyle centered around their interests.
