Come and Support Lizzy!
We're looking for caring, enthusiastic Support Workers to join Lizzy's team in Moray.
Lizzy is a fun-loving, friendly and active young woman who enjoys music, socialising and being part of her local community. She is passionate about living independently in her own home and is looking for support from people who can help her continue building her confidence and independence.
Your role will involve supporting Lizzy with daily living skills, attending local clubs and activities, enjoying walks, visiting local attractions, and helping her stay connected with friends. Lizzy is very sociable and enjoys getting out and about, so no two days are ever quite the same.
Some parts of Lizzy's day are structured around established routines, so patience, consistency, and understanding are important. Full training and shadowing will be provided before you begin, ensuring you feel confident and supported in your role.
About the Role:
This is a varied, rewarding role where you can make a genuine difference every day. You will support people with a range of additional support needs, including learning disabilities, autism and physical disabilities, both in their own homes and within their local communities.
Our aim is to support people to live as independently and confidently as possible, while enjoying a full and meaningful life.
While experience is desirable, we are keen to hear from people with the right values and attitudes.
