About this opportunity

Siobhan is a vibrant, sociable woman with a fantastic sense of humour who enjoys making the most of life.

While Siobhan enjoys being active and connected with others, she also values her own space and independence. It is important that the people supporting her respect her choices, encourage her to express her views, and promote her confidence in making decisions about her own life.

As a member of Siobhan’s support team, you will help her maintain meaningful relationships with family and friends, participate in activities she enjoys, and live as independently as possible. This includes assisting with appointments, developing daily living skills, and promoting healthy lifestyle choices. We are looking for someone who is patient, warm, calm, and organised, with a person-centred approach and a genuine commitment to helping people live fulfilling lives on their own terms. If you enjoy building positive relationships and supporting others to achieve their goals, this could be a highly rewarding opportunity.
