We are looking for proactive, engaging and caring people to join a close-knit support team in Banbury, supporting some wonderful people, across two homes, to live their best lives – the lives that they choose to live.
The people you will be supporting are aged in their 30’s to 70’s – each person has learning disabilities, and physical disabilities and there are also some complex health needs.
Every day will be different, and rewarding, as you encourage and empower each person to be actively engaged in every aspect of their daily lives. Each person has their interests, ambitions, and goals – they need you to help them realise them. You will also provide support with daily living skills, medication, personal care and mobility assistance, as required.
Responsibilities
Every person we support has their own needs and personality, and your responsibilities will reflect that. Here are some of the areas that you are most likely to be involved in:
- Health and well-being. This might mean supporting someone to make positive choices about eating well, taking exercise and maintaining good hygiene. It might also involve providing emotional support or helping them with dressing, washing and personal care.
- Leisure and social activities. Whether it’s taking part in a yoga class, painting or going out for a coffee, be prepared to get stuck in! Like all of us, the people we support need to do the things they enjoy and get involved in the local community to stay happy and healthy.
- Daily living skills. Things like paying bills, attending appointments, shopping, cooking and cleaning can be challenging for someone with a learning disability, so you’ll be on hand to support and encourage them.
- Safeguarding. Learning disabled people can be vulnerable to abuse or exploitation. As their support worker, you’ll make sure their rights are upheld and they are being treated with consideration and respect.
- There’ll be some important administration to do as well, such as dispensing and recording medicines for the people you support and maintaining accurate records and reports. Everything you do should be in line with current legislative and care standards.
