Head First is recruiting part-time female Support Workers to provide 1:1 personalised support to a young woman in her early 40s with an acquired brain injury, based in the Forest Row area.

This is a long-term role with scope to increase hours over time as the support package develops.

About Our Client

Our client lives with her parents and is friendly, thoughtful, and warm, with a great sense of humour. She is registered blind and experiences high levels of anxiety, so benefits from calm, patient, and consistent support.

She enjoys:

  • Being read to and having a relaxed conversation
  • Meditation, yoga, and gentle exercise (guided by her therapy team)
  • Creative activities at home
  • Local outings, shopping, and gentle walks outdoors

You will work closely with a Multi Disciplinary Team (MDT), following a structured rehabilitation plan focused on confidence-building and independence.

The Role

You will support with:

  • Day to day living and food preparation
  • Using iPhones and Apple technology (apps, accessibility features)
  • Organising appointments and routines
  • Community access and social activities (driving required)
  • Emotional reassurance and anxiety management
  • Encouraging independence at the client’s pace

What We Offer You

  • Full induction and specialist training
  • Ongoing support from an experienced Case Manager and MDT
  • Regular supervision and appraisals
  • Enhanced DBS paid for if required
  • The opportunity to play a genuinely meaningful role in someone’s life

What We’re Looking For

Essential

  • Previous experience in a support/care role
  • Full UK driving licence, access to own car, and business-use insurance
  • A calm, compassionate, and patient approach
  • Ability to support someone with high levels of anxiety
  • Good communication skills and a sense of humour
  • Flexibility to work a varied, pre agreed shift pattern

Desirable

  • Experience supporting individuals with acquired brain injury
  • Experience supporting individuals who are registered blind
  • Experience supporting individuals with epilepsy
  • Confidence using iPhone and Apple technology
  • Creativity and enthusiasm for social and leisure activities

Additional Information

  • Enhanced DBS required (paid for by the employer if needed)
  • Occupational Requirement: Female applicants only, permitted under Schedule 9, Part 1 of the Equality Act 2010, due to the personal nature of care
