BSL Support Worker

Salary: £19,500 per annum plus benefits

Location:  Eastleigh, Hampshire

Full UK driving license is preferred but not essential.

 

Would you like to work at our brand-new home in Eastleigh, Hampshire? Are you BSL Level 1 or above trained Native British Sign Language User? Do you have experience working with adults with Autism? Are you willing to be part of a transition team to ensure they settle into their new home?

We are looking for experienced Support Workers, full time or part time, BSL trained to Level 1 or above, or have a willingness to learn BSL. Staff should also have experience of supporting someone with autism.

‘Hi, my name is Ben and I'm shortly going to be living in my own home in Eastleigh, Hampshire Eastleigh and will be supported by SeeAbility. I use BSL to communicate, and you will too!

I am looking for calm, positive, friendly and happy individuals to join my team of support workers.  You will need to support me to lead the life I want and to encourage me to gradually become more and more skilled and confident.

Whilst I need a quiet and happy environment in my home, I really enjoy walking and playing football so you will need to be able to walk fairly long distances.  I also like jigsaw puzzles and have a passion for antiques, so I would love it if you liked these things too. 

I am looking for people to join my team who have the same interests as me so they would need to be physically fit, 100% reliable and able to provide me with personal care support.  I have autism and sometimes my behaviour can be challenging although that should not stop me doing the things I love and leading an active life.

I will need your encouragement to learn life skills and gain independence but that’s something everyone needs at times; as long as you are patient, confident, able to see the value in small gains, will follow coaching from my behaviour support person and are willing to help when needed, we will get along just fine!’

Who are SeeAbility?

The people we support overcome huge barriers to achieve exciting new things every day: some big, some small, all extraordinary. They challenge us all to rethink disability.

      New to this group 👋

      By Nicola Iaquinta · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m new to this group & I would love to find someone to practice with. I’m learning BSL level one & I don’t have anyone to practice with, my confidence is low when signing because of it. I’m learning because I’ve always wanted to & think it’s important to do so. I have just failed my 1st exam so confidence is even lower, I don’t want to let myself down or the deaf community. I can do this!!! Is there anyone who can help? Thank you & I hope to find friends

      Lighting

      By Charlotte 23 · Posted

      I’ve always liked builds that already have a story built into them, and the Firehouse is one of those sets that feels like it deserves more than plain shelf space. That is why the lego ghostbusters firehouse light kit catches my eye. Once the lights are on, the whole model feels more like a real late night scene instead of just a finished build. I’m curious whether other people here like adding lighting to display sets or prefer to leave them untouched.

      The 5-Piece Rule: Can You Build a Work Wardrobe From Just 5 Classics?

      As a retired man this thread doesn't directly call to me - but, have I missed the link to BSL?

      Newbie to BSL.. only know the basics.. i make BSL jewellery..

      By Charlotte 23 · Posted

      I like jewelry more when it carries something personal instead of feeling mass made or purely decorative. Seeing someone create BSL jewelry from the basics has that same kind of charm because it turns meaning into something you can actually wear. That is probably why Casual Carats stands out to me. The pieces feel easy enough for everyday life, but they still have that thoughtful side to them, which makes them feel a lot more real than accessories that only look good in theory.

      Why I'm learning Sign Language

      By AmieH · Posted

      Hi my name is Amie, my second child has just turnt one years old and at three weeks was confirmed to have moderate hearing loss in both ears. So I am learning BSL so I can be supportive in any way possible and to ensure he has the benefit of having many ways to communicate his needs.

      The 5-Piece Rule: Can You Build a Work Wardrobe From Just 5 Classics?

      By Rebecasui · Posted

      Love this challenge—I've been refining my own work wardrobe for years, and honestly, five pieces is tight but doable if you choose wisely. Your list is solid, though I'd personally swap the silk shell for a structured knit that travels better and hides coffee stains. My formula leans heavily on classic women's clothing because trends fade but a well-cut blazer or a crisp button-down keeps earning its spot season after season. That's exactly where I'd point anyone looking to build this kind of capsule. Finding pieces that hold their shape, resist wrinkles, and transition from desk to dinner without shouting for attention makes all the difference. A curated closet isn't about deprivation—it's about owning fewer things that actually work. Your list has me rethinking my own five.

      The 5-Piece Rule: Can You Build a Work Wardrobe From Just 5 Classics?

      By RobbertClaus · Posted

      I've been thinking a lot about minimalism lately, and I want to try an experiment. If you had to choose only five classic items to get you through a full year of work (office meetings, casual Fridays, client lunches, the whole deal), what would you pick? No seasonal cheating—these five have to work in summer and winter with layering. My tentative list: a tailored blazer, dark wide-leg trousers, a silk shell top, a crewneck sweater, and a crisp white button-down. I feel like that covers most situations, but I'm already second-guessing myself. Would you swap the shell for a midi skirt? Ditch the sweater for a cardigan? For those who've actually lived with a capsule wardrobe built from classic women's clothing, how many pieces do you find is the real sweet spot? And what's the one 'extra' you always end up adding back in?
