Description

We have a fantastic opportunity for a Support Worker to join our dedicated team based in Canton, Cardiff.
For this role you must have a full UK driving license.
This is what the wonderful person we support says:
"Hello, I am a 64 year old man who lives in Canton. I live in a shared house with 2 other people. I am looking for a support worker who can encourage me to do more - both in my home and out in my local community.

I really love Cardiff FC and I go to all their home games.

I enjoy doing things in Canton - like going for a pub lunch, playing pool, going to the cinema and meeting up with my family and friends.

I've recently also joined a walking group and a gardening club.

I do need some prompting with my personal care and my daily tasks around the house.

I would really love to become more independent and be able to do more of these tasks myself, things like washing up and cooking.

So who am I looking for?.Someone who is calm and will take the time to help me express myself.

I like a quiet home so I would prefer someone who is softly can still make me laugh I like people who are fun to be with and will help me try out new things.

And someone who likes football.preferably Cardiff City
