We are looking for like minded women and men to join our supported living service in central Bognor. We support people to live in their own flats in the community and to maintain a unique tenancy. We help the people we support manage their day-to-day lives, and in planning to attain future goals and realise their dreams. People have varied abilities, but most need support with cooking, cleaning, and doing their household chores. We support people at the bank and with budgeting, menu planning and shopping. Others need help with personal care and medication; some need behavioural support. We support people to attend health and medical appointments. We work in partnership with the local community team and other professionals. We liaise with landlords ensuring that peoples' flats are well maintained. People like support to go out and enjoy them selves, to have a social life and be part of the community. In the past we have supported people to go on holiday, go scuba diving, jump from a plane and take a cruise on the Mediterranean. We believe that people with learning disabilities should be part of our communities, have the same opportunities and lives as everyone else, and have a real say in the type of support they need.

We are seeking full and part time support workers over the age of 18 who have a manual driving licence, and are flexible to work on a rota covering early mornings, day and evening shifts, alternate weekends and sleep-in shifts. If you are enterprising and like to have fun working together, if you can offer real-life opportunities and make a difference for the people we support, then please apply or get in touch with us today.
