Support people to live life their way
This isn’t a care home. The people you’ll support have their own tenancy, their own front door and their own goals — and your job is to help them reach them.
Supported living is about enabling, not doing for. You’ll guide, prompt and encourage, and step back when someone can do it themselves. If you get satisfaction from watching someone cook their first meal alone, manage their own money, or get to an appointment without help, this is the role for you.
We’re looking for people with the right values. Experience is welcome, but we’ll give you the training.
What you’ll be doing;
- Supporting people to build everyday living skills — cooking, cleaning, laundry, shopping and budgeting
- Prompting with personal care in a way that protects dignity and independence
- Supporting people to stay well: booking and attending appointments, prompting medication, staying active and eating well
- Helping people get out into their community, take up hobbies, build friendships and stay connected
- Keeping clear, accurate daily records — food and fluid intake, activities, skin health, mood and any concerns
- Recognising and reporting safeguarding concerns straight away
- Working closely with families, colleagues and professionals
What we’re looking for;
- A genuine commitment to respect, compassion, patience and reliability
- Good communication skills and the honesty to report concerns
- Confidence to work on your own and as part of a team (lone working is part of the role)
- An understanding of safeguarding — or a willingness to learn
- Basic literacy for record keeping
- A willingness to develop and take on training
What we’ll give you;
Full training and support to do the job well, including:
- Mandatory care training and the Care Certificate
- Safeguarding training
- Medication training (where required)
- Food safety
- Moving and handling (where required)
Shift work including evenings and weekends. Community-based, with lone working at times.
