Package Description: Are you ready to make a real difference in someone’s life?We’re looking for a caring and reliable Support Worker to join our Dorset Outreach team in Shaftesbury, Dorset.

This is a 2:1 support package for each person, delivered by a small consistent team, where your relationship with the people you support really matters.
About the people you’ll be supporting:Both individuals have unique personalities, strong preferences, and communicate in their own way using hand signs, PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System), and gestures. Understanding how they communicate is key to supporting them well.

Your role will be to help them continue to build on that progress. You will be supporting them to try new activities, develop skills, and eventually explore things like social groups or clubs so that they can build relationships with likeminded individuals.
