About the Role

This is a rewarding opportunity to support a young individual who suffers from dual sensory impairment to live life to the fullest. Every day is different, and you'll play an important role in helping them lead a fulfilled and active life.

We need support from people who are patient, kind, and willing to communicate in ways that work for the individual.

• Are patient, compassionate, and reliable.
• Are excellent communicators and willing to adapt their communication style.
• Enjoy supporting people to access the community, take part in activities, and achieve their personal goals.
• Can promote independence, dignity, and choice in everything they do.
• Work well both independently and as part of a supportive team.
• PBS involvement.
• Are willing to learn.
• Work proactively within a team setting.

What You'll Do

• Provide person centred support in the individual's own home and community.
• Support communication using methods that meet the individual's needs.
• Assist with daily living activities while encouraging independence.
• Help plan and take part in enjoyable activities, hobbies, and outings.
• Build a trusting, respectful, and positive working relationship.

Shift patterns will be awake nights for the first to weeks and then shared sleeping in, including day shifts weekdays and weekends.
