Support Worker – Evolve – 15.5  hours per week (Ref SWE2 )

The role involves providing 1:1 support to adults with profound and multiple disabilities to enable them to be as independent as possible. This would be suitable for someone who has a caring nature, a very good sense of humor and who is not afraid of singing and dancing (and generally being a bit wacky!) to create a stimulating and encouraging environment for the people who use our services. Many of the people we support are non-verbal and rely on support staff to get to know them and find other ways of communicating. Sometimes just recognising a twinkle in the eye can say as much as any spoken word! There will be some requirements to assist in personal care, so we are looking for staff who have experience in this, or prepared to learn and get stuck in. Many of our members are wheelchair users which keeps our staff fit and strong (and saves money on their gym membership!) If you want a job that is fun and fulfilling and you feel that you would be a great fit for our team then contact us for more details.
