You will work as part of the wider team to:

· Continuously develop & implement personalised support plans with the supported individual, their support network, and other stakeholders to ensure their life goals and aspirations are the main focus.

· Build positive relationships with the supported individual,

· Enable supported individuals to complete all activities of daily living, including those necessary to maintain their home and support with personal care.

As part of your role, you will be required to undertake shift work, including weekends and evenings, so flexibility towards working hours is key.
