Having the opportunity to positively impact another's life is a gift. To do this everyday, what a life.
We are seeking part time experienced and non experienced female Support Workers* for our care service in Ty Newdd, Wrexham.
Outline
Are you up for a challenge? We support 4 ladies with autism and Learning disabilities in their own flats.
The ladies have a range of interests from swimming and walking to relaxing in the pub with a coke, from shopping and making jewellery to listening to music and improvising the drums!
The ladies we support need help with their communication so that they can be in control of their own lives. Each person has their own space in the flats and they are all very different and a lot of fun to support.
"The people we have in our team supporting the ladies say they all have a brilliant sense of humour, they are engaging, energetic and fun to be around"
Lowri Bartrum, Area Manager
This is a service full of joy and we are looking for new people to join a very committed team.
We provide full training around supporting the ladies including positive behaviour support and physical interventions in order to equip you to be able to support them through periods where they may show behaviours of concern.
We look for ways to support the ladies to live their best lives and welcome the input from all new starters… Could this be you?
Our home operates 24/7 and shifts are organised well in advance and worked on a rota basis. Shifts will include evenings, weekends and sleep-ins
