Support a 19‑year‑old woman in Lewes to rebuild her social life and confidence. This part‑time, on‑site role (Ref: MVES1039) pays £12.21 per hour for roughly three hours a week and is advertised by Independent Lives on jobsincare.com. You will provide companionship, help with travel and administration, support community access and social interaction, and encourage independent activities — ideally including occasional Saturday afternoons. A full driving licence and own vehicle are required. The post is for a female applicant (exemption under the Equality Act 2010) who is comfortable working around pets and new situations.

This vacancy suits women carers who are patient, organised and confident communicating with someone who has a learning disability and anxiety in new places. You should value confidentiality, be reliable with good timekeeping, able to follow guidance and work on your own initiative, and preferably know the local area or be nearer to the young woman’s age. Non‑smokers preferred; right to work in the UK and willingness to undergo an Enhanced DBS check are essential. The role may be offered as employed or self‑employed by the individual employer (employed posts include holiday pay and a contract).
