Description

We are looking for an experienced Support Worker to support a male who is his 40s living in Barrow in Furness in Cumbria.

The person we support has a diagnosis of
mild learning disability alongside paranoid schizophrenia and lives in his own property.

We are looking for a
bank worker to take 12-hour shiftswhen they are available.

This is a perfect situation for someone looking for a few more hours or to fit around other responsibilities or commitments.


Hi - you'll be supporting me
I really enjoy going out for walks and going out into the community. So, having support staff who enjoy walking and being out and about would be a huge bonus. I also love drawing and enjoy putting the drawings up in my house.


It's important for staff to develop a good relationship with me and get to know me, so they can identify when I need their support.

Sometimes I can let my schizophrenia get the best of me and when this happens, I need my support staff to reassure myselfand make me feel safe.

I sometimes struggle to show my emotions so again my staff need to be confident and help me express myself.
