About the Role Our friendly team of support workers are based at our small, homely residential care service in the village of Bursledon , where we support six adults (aged from 36 - 63) with a wide range of learning disabilities. Together with our current team you will play a key part in assisting people to live as independently as possible. You will help them be active members of their local community, joining in with their favourite pastimes and hobbies, such as going to the cinema, hydro, and going out for meals or to the theatre; They also like sports such as football, musicals,and crafts. The most important thing for the people we support here is that their staff are happy and do not rush them. Personal care is also required. We have openings for full-time (37.5 hpw) or part-time (20 hpw). Shifts are worked on a rota basis to include days, evenings, nights, weekends and optional sleep-ins (1 per week). Shift times are 7.15am - 3pm and 2.30pm - 10pm. CQC Report Oct 2018 - "There was a positive, supportive and open culture within the home.
