More importantly, do you adore being around other energetic, larger than life, inspiring women? If so, then why not apply to become our newest part-time Female Support Worker based in Bridgend where three other amazing women are waiting to welcome you into their home.
In Brackla, Bridgend (CF31), our passionate, friendly and all-female team support three fantastic and fun females, who share a very lively home together.
You will be supporing three wonderul ladies who share a lust for life that’s incredibly contagious and can’t be extinguished!
Each lady loves getting out and about (which is why it’s so important you have a full UK driver’s license); they enjoy trips to the beach and to the zoo, they love being wined and dined, relaxing with pamper sessions, going shopping, and attending gigs. The ladies also love sensory activities (particularly water-based interests), as well as arts and crafts, attending day centres, and visiting church.
It’s also important to note that one of the ladies has epilepsy, one is a wheelchair user (so will require your assistance with her mobility), and one uses a wheelchair when getting out and about so will need your support with this. Each lady will also require your respectful assistance with personal care as and when required.
Every day will be different, and rewarding, as you encourage and empower each lady to be actively engaged in every aspect of their daily lives – this will include accompanying to favoured activities, supporting with daily living skills, administering medication and supporting with personal care and mobility assistance, if needed.
At Dimensions, we believe it is who you are as a person – and the difference you can bring to lives of the people you will be supporting – that is more important than experience.
