Support Worker - Sheffield

For most of us, making a sandwich is a task we don’t put much thought into— gather the ingredients, put them together, and enjoy! But for some people, making a sandwich is about so much more than just food. 

• It’s the opportunity to embrace independence.
• It’s the joy of discovering new skills.
• It’s the freedom to make personal choices.

It’s amazing how something like preparing a sandwich can boost confidence and help the people we support to embrace life on their own terms. Our support workers guide them to navigate daily challenges and turn these moments into opportunities for empowerment and personal growth. Every sandwich made is a victory, proving that even the smallest tasks can lead to greater independence. 

will I support? 

We are looking for a fun-loving person to join our brilliant team supporting 2 gentlemen in their 60's & 70's, who live in their own home in Sheffield.
There is personal care, moving and handling (wheelchair users) and one gentleman is non verbal. They have their own mobility vehicles, so driver essential. They love getting out into the community, going for walks, music, tv/film, going on holidays and day trips.
