About the Role

We are seeking compassionate, resilient, and emotionally intelligent individuals to join a specialist community support team assisting a woman living independently with an acquired brain injury.

This is not a traditional domiciliary care role. The position involves working closely with one client within her own home and community, supporting independence, emotional wellbeing, daily living, and social engagement within a highly personalised support package.

The role requires patience, consistency, professionalism, and the ability to work confidently within a complex relational environment. Applicants should be comfortable supporting an individual who can at times present with behaviours that are challenging.

• Calm and emotionally resilient
  • Able to maintain professional boundaries
  • Strong communicators
  • Observant and reflective
  • Consistent and reliable
  • Comfortable working within complex interpersonal dynamics

Experience in care is welcomed but not essential. We value attitude, maturity, and emotional intelligence as highly as previous experience.

Desirable Experience

• Acquired brain injury
  • Mental health support
  • Autism or learning disabilities
  • Positive behaviour support
  • Community support work
  • Psychology, counselling, social care, or rehabilitation backgrounds
