Support Worker/PA job at East London Full Time

Job description

Here at The Inclusivity Group, we are committed to providing inclusive and person-centred services to deaf, disabled and elderly individuals.

Three companies come under The Inclusivity Group, Complete Communication, Complete Independence and Complete Training. This role will sit under Complete Communication as it specialises in communication support, Disabled Student allowance, Access-To-Work and more.

We are seeking a dedicated and compassionate Support Worker to support a client. The successful candidate will play a crucial role in facilitating the client’s professional success by attending meetings, taking accurate and comprehensive electronic notes as well as supporting their movement around campus. This is a part-time position with an average of 10 hours per week with opportunities for more, though the schedule may vary depending on the student’s needs.

Key Responsibilities:

• Travel support, navigation, and carrying bags/equipment
• Wheelchair assistance and general mobility support
• Ensuring access requirements are met (including appropriate spaces, breaks, and sustainable scheduling)
• Communicating access needs to teams (e.g. directors, production, sound engineers, studio staff, crew) in line with guidance
• Advocacy for reasonable adjustments in rehearsals, meetings, and on set
• Supporting pacing and rest (including handling coffee/lunch runs to enable longer breaks)
• Supporting in high-pressure environments with reassurance and practical strategies
• This includes remaining calm and following a trained seizure management plan when required
• Assisting with self-regulation and grounding techniques
• Anticipating needs and providing proactive support
• Reducing miscommunication and managing changes where possible
• Supporting with time management, scheduling, and transitions
• Script reading, note-taking, and processing information
• Supporting with self-tapes (learning lines, equipment setup, environment, and creative assistance)
• Facilitating physical access to venues, sets, and events
• Prompting for medication, food, hydration, meetings, calls.

The above will include studio sessions, weekend events, filming, and occasional night shoots.

Our journey began in 2019 when Complete Communication was formed by two directors, determined to offer the best support possible. Despite starting during a pandemic, we thrived and expanded nationwide. In 2023, we proudly joined forces with Complete Independence and Complete Training to form The Inclusivity Group, enabling us to offer a comprehensive wrap-around service to our clients.

Our vision is to enable and empower people to be able to engage, interact and feel valued by society. Our mission is to ensure everyone can be equal and active members of their community.
