Meet Our Client

We are seeking a caring and enthusiastic Support Worker to join our team supporting a young gentleman with an acquired brain injury while he attends university in Lancaster.

He enjoys online gaming with friends and regularly attends the gym twice a week. He has previously taken part in activities such as archery, and rifle shooting, and is keen to re-engage with these through university clubs. He is also interested in cycling on campus and joining a hiking group.

In addition, you will encourage social engagement, including attendance at university societies and activities, and support him to build confidence using transport and navigating the local area.

This is a varied role suited to someone organised, patient, and committed to promoting independence.

Please note: Due to the nature of our vacancies, our clients have the right to request either female or male staff.
