Work
Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands-on experience.
What you'll do at work
We’re looking for caring, creative and fun support workers to work with wonderful twin sisters who each have their own unique personalities and interests.
One sister is calm, social and loves all things girly. She enjoys relaxing pamper days at home, anything pink, and getting out into the community for activities that make her feel good and confident.
Her twin is lively, chatty and full of creative energy. She loves painting, listening to music, and exploring new activities that help her express herself.
Although they are very close, they also enjoy spending time apart doing their individual hobbies, whether that’s a quiet spa afternoon or a fun painting session as well as coming together to watch TV, listen to music, and unwind.
We’re looking for support workers who are patient, empathetic, and able to bring a sense of fun and creativity to each day. You’ll provide person-centred care at home and in the community, helping each sister engage in the activities they enjoy most and supporting them to build confidence, independence, and fulfilment.
This is a rewarding role where you’ll play an important part in helping both women live happy, meaningful lives, while respecting their individuality and supporting their shared bond as sisters.
If you’re someone who enjoys making a positive impact and wants a role where every day feels purposeful, we’d love to hear from you.
