Voyage Care lives its values by promising to EMPOWER each other, work TOGETHER, promote HONESTY, be a leader in OUTSTANDING quality and to always be SUPPORTIVE in everything we do???. Could this be you?

About the Role:

This is our supported living service in Clacton where we will be supporting one individual with specialist behavioural support needs, learning disabilities, autism and behaviours that challenge on a 2:1 basis.

As a superhero "Support Worker" you will deliver intense support with all aspects of everyday living to encourage their independence and support them to lead the most fulfilling life possible, incorporating both therapy and social based activities. You must be resilient flexible and composed in your approach as this will be a challenging environment to work in, although equally rewarding. You will understand the importance of reflective practice and be involved in de-briefs and incident analysis to ensure the best possible outcomes for the individual.

Whilst no two days are the same typically, you'll help the people we support to establish a routine in their new home, helping them with everyday challenges such as personal care, meal preparation, housekeeping, medication, attending health appointments, maintaining relationships and taking part in hobbies & activities. Crucially, enabling them to carry out tasks, chores and hobbies that most people take for granted but are meaningful to the people we support.

Due to the needs of the individual you will be supporting you will have previous experience in supporting people with autism and challenging behaviour. Also, desirable, but not essential is awareness of mental health and understanding of how to positively support people who may have had difficult experiences in their life.

Although this role is predominantly based in 1 service in Clacton it will also involve an extensive, specialist behaviour support training programme, full induction into the service and the company and occasional work at our other supported living settings in Clacton area so you must be happy to travel to other local services.
