Hi, I’m Patrick. I’m looking for a kind, reliable, and enthusiastic Support Worker to join my care team in Gosport. I’m a friendly, talkative guy with a great sense of humour, and I’d like to find someone who shares my interests—especially if you’re into karate, enjoy a bit of shopping, or just like good conversation.

I live at home with my wife and our lovely Beagle. I’ve been part of my local karate club for over 45 years and still attend regularly. In 2016, I had a brain injury following a road traffic accident, and since then, I’ve needed a bit of extra support to live life to the fullest.

The Role

You’ll be working as part of a small, dedicated team providing 24-hour care. I need help with personal care, domestic tasks, and getting out and about in the community. I use a Zimmer frame indoors and a wheelchair outdoors, so you’ll need to be confident supporting mobility and using a wheelchair-adapted vehicle (WAV).  Going out to have cups of tea and cake and getting away on holiday.

Requirements

  • Driver? Yes, essential
  • Drive my WAV? Yes
  • Use your own car for training? Yes
  • Experience?
    • Essential: Supporting adults with emotional/behavioural needs, confident in behaviour management and de-escalation
    • Desirable: Experience with brain injury or dementia

What We Value

We’re a Supportive team—you’ll never feel alone.
We act with Integrity—we do what’s right, even when no one’s watching.
We’re Client-Centred—your role is all about helping me live my best life.
We’re Quality-Focused—we take pride in doing things well.
And we’re Positive—we believe in making every day count.

Interviews & Start Date: Interviews will be held as applications are received—likely via video call. Start date is ASAP, pending pre-employment checks.

If you’re someone who’s patient, compassionate, and ready to make a real difference, I’d welcome your application. Come and be part of something meaningful—help me stay active, independent, and connected to the things I love to do.

Looking forward to meeting you,
Patrick
