About You Youre an experienced, empathetic and resilient Support Worker, deeply committed to assisting people with additional needs who can present challenging behaviour. Youre compassionate, observant, patient and confident in handling potentially difficult situations. You are skilled in monitoring changes in mood and developing techniques to calm and de-escalate. Ideally you will have knowledge and experience of complex needs including autism, learning disabilities and mental health support. Youre able to communicate clearly and sensitively with vulnerable people and their families, and always adopt a person-centred approach.
You enjoy helping individuals to be independent through companionship, providing reassurance and enabling confidence. You take pride in doing a great job and are happy assisting with cooking, domestic duties, personal care, attending appointments and social activities. Youre keen to develop your career through training, learning and gaining relevant qualifications.
