The people we support have learning disabilities, autism, physical disabilities, and mental health support needs. They have a beautiful home, with communal gardens, in which they enjoy spending time during the summer months. They enjoy watching the wildflowers bloom and planting their vegetable patches. There is a great community spirit and often there are events, such as lunches, games of rounders, football tournaments, and BBQ’s amongst many others. They also enjoy a range of activities in the community. They like to enjoy being out and about, no matter what the weather, so are looking for team members who encourage them to be as independent as possible, and to make their own choices! They would love you to be a good listener, as sometimes having someone to talk to is all they need. They hope you can remain calm in difficult situations, and can problem solve, whilst being reassuring too.
