We’re on the hunt for genuinely caring, hands-on Male* Support Workers with a passion for enhancing the quality of life of the people we support. As a support worker with us you’ll be helping people to gain more independence in their daily lives, whilst working within a dynamic team to support a fantastic group of people!
Our Dove House residential service in Doveridge is a welcoming and friendly environment and you can be sure that no two days will be the same! You’ll be enhancing the lives of the people we support by teaching them new life skills, assisting with personal care, encouraging them to access their local communities, socialising and doing lots of activities. We provide specialist, person centred support for four people who have learning disabilities, autistic spectrum disorders and can exhibit behaviours that challenge. Each individual is supported to plan and take part in a weekly timetable of activities both at home and in the wider community, ranging from swimming to cooking and gardening, all with the aim of working towards developing skills and achieving their hopes and dreams. Dove house shares a log cabin in the garden with another Voyage Care service which enables activities to be planned. It has a pool table and can also be used as a relaxing environment for the individuals we support.
This is an amazing role for someone who is looking to really make a difference to someone’s life and to help them grow in confidence and independence so that they meet their goals, whether this be making dinner by themselves or going on holiday.
