Company description
LDA Care is a specialist care provider supporting individual adults that have a learning disability and or are on the autism spectrum, particularly those with significant behaviours that are behaviours of concern.
The care provided will be within their own home, a home that they have chosen, this will be a service where the care team support the individual in their own home to deliver the support that they require.
We offer a broad spectrum of flexible personalised care carried out by our multi-disciplinary team.Positive Behavioural Support (PBS) Practitioners and Learning disability and mental health nurses offer a wide range of skills and experience in specialised assessments, planning and delivering the right support.
Here at LDA Care we don't anticipate 'smooth sailing' with the people we are serving. The individuals we support may have experienced abuse, rejection and trauma.Some individuals may exhibit symptoms of post-traumatic stress, have experienced institutionalisation, and may have missed out on everyday processes of socialisation.
Each has inherent and acquired 'disabilities', however, experience tells us with the right skilled relationship-based support and the opportunity to experience a rich and meaningful life, these individuals can have and be so much more.
LDA Care are looking for people who will demonstrate the competence (or enthusiasm to acquire the competence) to provide excellent personalised social, and sometimes clinical level behavioural, support to people with learning disabilities and autism in their own homes.
