Work for an outstanding CQC rated care provider
This is a unique opportunity for the right individuals to develop a small team who have a desire to provide high quality, compassionate and empathetic care to a young woman who is moving to her own home following a lengthy stay as an inpatient in a hospital environment.
Working as part of a dedicated female only team of support practitioners providing night support to J on a 2:1 waking night basis.
Working closely with J, her support circle and health professionals to provide the right level of support, to ensure J's safety whilst encouraging and empowering J to have autonomy over her life.
J lives with Dissociative Identity Disorder (Formerly known as Multiple Personality Disorder) and is in recovery from an Eating Disorder.
It would be advantageous to have experience of working with and/or supporting people with complex trauma, dissociation, self harm, eating disorders, sensory difficulties and attachment issues.
However, if you would be open to learning about and understanding these difficulties, we encourage you to apply Full training on J's diagnosis and how best to support her will be provided.
J can struggle at night due to traumatic experiences so would need staff who can be calm and comforting to help her and other personality states feel safe and secure in their environment in order to be well rested.
J has a love for nature, follows a vegan lifestyle and wishes to pursue an eco-friendly way of life so an interest in this would be desirable but not essential.
J is keen to learn about new opportunities and needs people that can guide and explore these with her and also suggest new activities/places to visit and who can be adaptable, responsive and calm when under pressure.
J is very anxious about new situations and what to expect, her past experiences mean that she/other personalities don't always respond in a way that others would expect.
J will also need support with developing new routines, managing medication, sorting finances, paying bills and attending appointments.We want to develop our staff to be skilled professionals who go the extra mile and:
- Are accepting, open minded and have a willingness to get to know J and learn about her diagnoses.
- See J and each of the other identities as individuals, adapting approaches as needed to ensure positive outcomes whilst respect and dignity is maintained.
- Are committed to making a positive impact and maintain a supportive environment.
- Are good communicators who are able to read and respond to verbal and nonverbal signs of anxiety and distress by providing consistent clear boundaries.
- Display or gain a good understanding of issues experienced by people who have experienced severe trauma and long term hospitalisation.
- Have a willingness to foster a healthy and balanced attitude towards food and body image.
- Have a compatible personality, sense of humour and can develop a trusting, professional relationship.
As this is a new package of care, the start date for this is not yet confirmed however we expect this to be in June/July 2023. Prior to this there will be a need for you to attend training and transitional work with J before moving. You will be contracted and paid as per your contract during this time.
