Havencare is a forward-thinking and growing charity. We have been making a difference for 35+ years, changing the lives of people who have learning disabilities, autism, brain injuries, and other support needs.
At Havencare, first and foremost, we are looking for outstanding people who align with our values of Transparency, Quality and Engagement.
We are looking for an enthusiastic, resourceful and forward-thinking person and are excited for the opportunity for you to join our team, supporting Mr S in the Newlyn area.
About the Role
Mr S currently lives in a Bungalow in Newlyn. He requires continuous support to live with Epilepsy, Dysexecutive syndrome and the effects of a brain injury that include fatigue, cognitive impairments and difficulties with concentration or processing information. At times his social interaction and decision-making require intervention and redirecting.
No two days are the same, with communication that can very, he has false, fabricated and disoriented but unintentional memories that he truly believes are true. These aren't deliberate lies; they are his memories. He will talk about many different topics which can be a mix of factual and non-factual information.
One day he can be motivated to do many things but the next day maybe different. It is very important to him that his team understand this, and the impact he can cause him. Mr S needs you to work in a way that is responsive, proactive and consider ongoing adjustments.
Mr S is mobile but will sometimes use sticks to help with balance. He can do a lot for himself but needs prompting and reassurance with certain aspects of day-to-day living. He will require support to access the community, to attend appointments and meetings.
He enjoys spending time wandering around the local area, having a coffee and watching the world pass by. He is a bit of a foody and will often choose to eat out, relaxing in The Queens Hotel or enjoying hearty pub grub.
