Working in brain injury is different to other kinds of support work. You’re there to encourage and guide individuals, helping them gain the skills and confidence to live independently. We will train you to provide personalised support to our adult residents. You will follow individual support plans to meet the needs and aspirations of each person. The focus is developing independent living skills: personal hygiene, meal preparation, exercise, leisure activities, socialising – the daily routine of regular life. It is a really varied job, with all kinds of different activities to organise and participate in art, crafts, music, sports, gardening, shopping, swimming, college, employment and countless others.
