We have an exciting opportunity to join our busy Myos House, Extra Care Housing for People living with Dementia. To start 1st April 2023. Our aim is to ensure that a person can remain at home, feel confident and is safe to live as independently as possible. We work in partnership with other social care and health professionals to prevent care needs from escalating and works to prevent avoidable admissions to hospital and care homes.

Myos House ‘helps people do things for themselves’ rather than ‘doing it for them’ through support programmes that enables people to optimise their daily living skills and wellbeing. The role will involve working with individuals and their circle of support to maintain their confidence and continue living well with Dementia - based on their abilities and strengths and those of their family and community.

We provide support 24/7, 365 ensuring the safety and well being of vulnerable adults living within Myos House. You will need to be solution focussed, have the ability to motivate others, have excellent decision making and interpersonal skills and be able to work autonomously in complex situations.
