Support Worker – Ewell, Surrey

An opportunity has arisen to work as a *Female Support Worker with an engaging 18 year old young woman, based within the private family home in Ewell, Surrey.

The Client

Jasmine is a bubbly young lady with a particularly love of music and she also enjoys a pamper session, having her hair styled and her nails manicured. She likes to go out for walks, for a drive in the car and going swimming. She has a great sense of humour and needs her Support Workers to be positive and proactive in the support they provide.

Jasmine suffered a brain injury at birth which left her with cerebral palsy, epilepsy, visual impairment and learning difficulties and therefore requires support in all areas of her day-today life.

The successful candidate will also need to be proficient in medication administration, record keeping and be willing to learn Jasmine’s communication strategies as she is non-verbal. There is an expectation that the *Female Support Worker will undertake certain client-related domestic tasks.

This is a fantastic role working with a personable and popular Client within a happy and settled care team within the busy family home.
