We have a wonderful opportunity for a Female Support Worker(s) to join an established care team providing support to a bubbly and engaging lady who lives with her family less than 5 miles from Lincoln.
Our Client
Poppy is a fascinating young woman in her early 30s who lives at home with her family in a small rural village close to Lincoln. She has cerebral palsy, autism and a brain injury, and can exhibit challenging behaviours. Despite speech difficulties Poppy communicates well and requires support in all areas of her day‑to‑day life including personal care.
Poppy is bright and engaged, enjoying hobbies such as bingo, visiting coffee shops, walking, shopping, quiet days at home, relaxing and crafting. She uses a powered wheelchair for mobility and loves day trips, including recent trips to London.

- Drive the client’s adapted vehicle if required and hold a full, clean UK driving licence with personal vehicle access.

Once fully trained and familiar with Poppy, shifts will be in line with the rota:
- Sunday to Friday inclusive: Day shifts 07:00 – 17:00 or 09:00 – 19:00.
- Night shifts 19:00 – 07:00.
