- Provide assistance in daily living, including domestic tasks, personal care, medication monitoring, social support, and transportation.
- Build strong, professional relationships with participants, ensuring their dignity and safety are maintained while fostering a sense of trust and respect.
- Monitor participants' well-being, observing any changes in behavior or health and reporting these promptly to your supervisor.
- Collaborate with a supportive team of professionals, contributing to the ongoing development of services and ensuring high standards of care.

**Key Responsibilities**:

- **Domestic Assistance**: Support people with psychosocial disability with daily tasks to maintain a clean and safe living environment.
- **Personal Care**: Assist with personal hygiene, grooming, and other personal care needs.
- **Social Support**: Provide a safe space for participants to relax, engage socially, and participate in community activities.
- **Medication Monitoring**: Ensure participants are supported with medication management and adherence to prescribed regimens.
- **Transportation**: Support participants with travel to appointments, social activities, and community events.

**What We’re Looking For**:

- Experience in supporting individuals with psychosocial disabilities, mental health, behavioral, or complex needs is highly desirable.
- A genuine passion for improving the lives of people living with psychosocial disabilities.
- Excellent communication skills to interact effectively with participants, their families, and other professionals.
- A person-centered approach to care, ensuring each participant’s needs, preferences, and goals are at the heart of everything you do.
- Demonstrated ability to maintain professional boundaries while building rapport and trust with participants.
- Current Driver’s License and reliable, insured vehicle for transporting participants.
- Ability to work independently while maintaining a team-focused approach.
- Knowledge of safe work practices and manual handling techniques.

**Why Join The SIL Company?**
- Supportive team environment with ongoing training and development.
- Meaningful work that makes a positive impact on the lives of vulnerable individuals.
- Flexible working options to suit your lifestyle and career goals.
- Competitive salary and benefits, with potential for career progression.
