Complex Support Worker

In this pivotal role, you will be assisting and encouraging people in supported living to become integrated members of their local community, promoting physical and social interaction. In the case of these 2 gentlemen, that means joining them to enjoy long walks, swimming and many other outdoor activities. They like to keep busy and they love being out and about. Like rollercoasters? Theme parks? Well the both of the people supported here love a day out and like nothing more than a day at a theme park! Not all days will be quite that exciting, however you will be out in the local community, attending plenty of group and social activities. Both of our gents are keen to learn and are looking for someone that can encourage them to do this and someone that shows an interest in similar things.,
