I’m a 34-year-old young man who sustained a brain injury following a road traffic accident when I was younger. I live in Barry, in supported housing and am looking for someone to work with me on a Saturday. I am a very outgoing person and am sociable, bubbly and enjoy being out and about in the community, meeting and chatting to others. I keep myself busy with activities during the week and now I would like some support to do more fun things at the weekend. This could be going shopping into Cardiff, the cinema or eating out. This will improve my confidence and increase my independence. I have some physical difficulties which means that I use crutches, and wear splints on both legs for stability and support. I go to the gym twice a week, following a programme designed by a physiotherapist to maintain my mobility. I can tire easily but may not always recognise this and therefore need someone to help me monitor this. I sometimes struggle in social situations and have some memory difficulties so will need some support with these. I would like my Support Worker to be friendly, patient and reliable, to encourage and support me to access opportunities, whilst working closely with my Case Manager. You will play a key part in keeping me active at the weekend.
This role is subject to an Enhanced level DBS check. Full induction and training will be provided.
To join me as a Support Worker you will need to: -
• Be able to drive and have use of a car. • Have experience of supporting a person with a brain injury. • Enjoy working as part of a team. • Be willing to register with Social Care Wales
Top Reasons to Apply: - • Above industry average for pay • Mileage rate – 45p per mile • Work directly for our client and not an agency (unlike most agency work you will spend quality time with your client which can make a real difference) • Great opportunity for professional development • Be part of an expert multi-disciplinary team • Bespoke client induction and training • Ongoing support and supervision from the dedicated Case Manager
