About the Service – Plymouth Supported Living

This service supports adults aged 18+ living across Plymouth and South Devon with learning disabilities, physical disabilities, epilepsy, and autism—including individuals who are preverbal or wheelchair users.

The core mission is to enable individuals to live as independently as possible in their own homes.

Residents are fully involved in the day-to-day running of their homes and love staying active!

What the individuals enjoy:

Socialising: Spending time with friends and family, playing board games, and dining out at their favourite restaurants.
Outings: Shopping trips, cinema visits, bus rides, and local walks.
Special Events: Going on holidays and taking memorable trips to seasonal events like Winter Wonderland.

What You’ll Be Doing

Your everyday focus will be on delivering structured, consistent, and person-centred support tailored to each individual's unique needs, focusing on skill-building and quality of life.

Key Responsibilities:

Tailored Care: Deliver high-quality care in strict alignment with individual support plans.
Daily Living Support: Assist with practical daily life skills and personal care tasks where required.
Community Mobility: Drive and accompany individuals to social activities, appointments, and community events.
Collaboration & Documentation: Work seamlessly as part of a supportive team and maintain accurate, detailed daily records.
Flexible Shift Cover: Work a rota pattern that includes days, evenings, weekends, bank holidays, and sleep-ins.

If you are a positive, resilient, and patient individual who loves supporting others to reach their goals, you will thrive here.

What you need to bring:

A naturally caring, reliable, and deeply respectful approach.
A full UK driving licence and confident driving experience to transport individuals safely in the community.
Strong communication, basic IT, and written abilities for logging reports.
