Meet the person you’ll be supporting:
- What challenges do I have? I am non-verbal so struggle to communicate my needs, therefore it is helpful for staff to be patient with me, speak clearly and be good communicators. My mood can change and I can sometimes present some challenging behaviour, so I would like to work with staff who can adapt to that and be strong.
- What activities do I like to do? I get home from day service in the afternoon, and then I love to go out on drives and walks. I have favourite places I like to visit regularly, and I like staff to listen to me and my Mum about where I like to go.
- How would I describe myself? I have a good sense of humour and I am a caring person.
- What are some of my long-term goals? I would like to be more independent and would like staff to encourage this.

Our company strongly values internal progression, fostering a culture where our team are empowered to grow, develop their skills, and advance their careers. Hear from some of our current staff members who have climbed the career ladder in care:
Louis Benfield, Mobilisation Support Manager : "Amore has been great. I've progressed very well since joining this company, and I've seen others start from support work to working as Complex Care case officers. I've seen support workers with very little come in and progress really well into Team Leader roles. Before Amore, I was a Registered Manager supporting clients with learning disabilities and struggling with their mental health. I started here as a House Manager for a 4-1 client and then progressed to a Registered Manager position after two years. Holding the Registered Manager title for around 18 months , I have progressed onto the role of Mobilisation Support Manager. My role varies day-to-day, so some days I could be doing everything from meeting new commissioners to writing care plans to even attending some shifts, getting a good understanding of what’s needed for the individuals that you all are supporting. The investment from Amore is really what sets them more apart, in my opinion, from a lot of other providers. They are always looking to sort of promote people internally, and I think you always feel valued with them more. No matter who you are, your voice is always heard and it's just a really good company to work for.
