Support Worker

Dimensions are delighted to soon be providing support to a gentleman, in his forties with learning difficulties, living in his own home in Cardiff, CF5. 'P' is a complicated gentleman so it is crucial that you are experienced in supporting people who can have complex emotional responses to people and situations. You will be fully trained in Positive Behaviour Management, which is bespoke to 'P' needs. You will need to feel confident in loan working. 'P' will require your focused support in areas of interpersonal interactions and social communication. He can struggle to understand social rules and boundaries so your ability to support him to navigate the world around him, and keep himself safe, in a consistent manner, will be crucial in maintaining his safety and independence. 'P' leads a very full life, enjoying two days a week in a work placed day service, where he works in a café. He also enjoys going to the gym, cycling, shopping and walks. One of 'P's aspirations is to increase his social circle further. At home he spends a lot of time chatting with his support team, playing pool, watching TV and using the Internet. If you think you are the kind of support worker that could enable 'P' to thrive, then we would love to hear from you!
