I supported adults with complex needs to live within the community, supporting them within their own home. I worked a mixture of day shifts and night shifts. I'd support people to have the maximum possible independence, choice and control over their own lives. I focused on people’s strengths and promoted what they could do, so people had a fulfilling and meaningful everyday life. I'd support people to make decisions following best practice in decision-making. I'd communicate with people in ways that met their needs.
