About the service.
Penywaun Bungalow is a four bedroom property, operating as a supported living service for individuals with Learning Disabilities and Mental Illness. Some of the people living at Penywaun Bungalow may also express behaviours which others find challenging.
Penywaun Bungalow provides a caring, supporting and nurturing environment where individuals can benefit from extensive experience in developing independence and achieving personal outcomes. Supporting individuals to meet their full potential is key objective within the service we provide.
Within your role, you will support a diverse lifestyle, supporting individuals to play a greater role in the community that they are a part of. A focus is placed upon developing levels of independence through engagement in Daily Living Skills such as cooking, cleaning and shopping. You will be required to provide high levels of emotional support and will develop strategies to help people with this.
This role is contracted to 30 hours (minimum) per week and shifts may include mornings, afternoons/evenings, every other weekend and sleep-ins.
This is a fantastic opportunity if you are caring, patient and passionate about helping others to grow. All you will require is a positive attitude. Expanding Horizons is a growing organisation, offering fantastic benefits to the right candidates! If you are looking to work as part of a team and all of the above sounds exciting then we would love to hear from you!
If you are new to care then this also applies to you - a fundamental part of our recruitment is based upon attitude and personality so experience is not essential. Full training including the All Wales Induction Framework will be provided as well as intensive support from your line manager to ensure you get the most out of your new role.
