Who are Pobl Group?  

 

Pobl Group are a proud employer of over 2,300 colleagues providing diverse services and making a difference in communities throughout Wales. Our Care team provides registered care services throughout South Wales at dozens of locations and for a wide range of customers.  

 

Pobl means ‘People’ and people really are at the heart of everything we do. We support some truly amazing people to live positive, independent lives in their own home and help get them where they want to be in life.

 

Where does this role fit in?

 

In this role, you’ll be supporting four fantastic individuals with learning disabilities, helping them lead active, fulfilling lives. Each person we support has access to their own vehicle to promote independence, so a full UK driving licence is essential.

 

The individuals you’ll support love getting out and about, whether it’s day trips, scenic beach walks, strolls around the local area, or meals out. If you enjoy being active and making a real difference in people’s lives, this could be the perfect role for you!

  • Administering medication
  • Preparing meals and supporting with mealtimes
  • Laundry and household cleaning
  • Accompanying on shopping trips and running errands
  • Supporting relationships with friends, family, and the local community
  • Taking part in leisure activities, such as swimming, cinema trips, and days out
  • Advocating for their needs, preferences, and choices
  • Providing personal care, with dignity and respect
  • Assisting with manual handling as required
  • Providing digital (computer-based) administrative support as a key worker

 

Skills & Experience:

 

  • Experience working with people or customers
  • Experience working as part of a team
  • IT, Literacy and numeracy skills

 

Experience supporting individuals with complex mental health needs, or learning disabilities is desirable but not essential. Full training and ongoing development will be provided to help you succeed.

 

If you’re looking for the opportunity to work with people who are inspiring and full of potential, we’d love to hear from you.

  • Competitive salary of £24,531.00 FTE (£12.75 per hour)
