Do you want to make a difference to someone's life?

Do you have the enthusiasm and passion to enhance the lives of the individuals we support?

Are you flexible, understanding, considerate to others and able to use your own initiative?

Our enthusiastic and experienced teams are looking for Support Workers.

THE SERVICE:

Resource Centres support individuals with complex Learning Disabilities, Physical needs, Mental Health, Autism and other related health and social care needs.

To help with this we incorporate health action plans, eating and drinking plans, behaviour management plans, epilepsy plans and robust risk assessments just to name a few.

We provide a range of support and assistance with personal care to general day to day support with activities of daily living, emotional, psychological, practical, and social support with the aim of meeting the individual’s chosen outcomes and promoting their independence.

Some individuals are very mobile, some use wheelchairs or walking aids, so moving and handling will be required at times. Support to ensure they can participate in meaningful activities is important to us. We like to ensure our individuals engage in chosen activities and enjoy engaging with the community, encouraging social inclusion.

What we require from you:

You will need to be flexible and enthusiastic, have a sense of humour, with an ability to communicate both verbally and written.

Good recording skills are essential. Computer skills advantageous.

Previous experience of supporting people with care and support needs and an understanding of the needs and rights of people with learning disabilities is an advantage. We welcome applications from people who are able to use their own initiative but who are also excellent team players. You will have a can-do attitude with an ability to support and enable individuals to access a wide range of community activities. Have a willingness to learn and attend relevant training.

Benefits:

In return, you can look forward to:

• Service Operational times - Monday to Friday, 8.45 – 4.00p.m.
• Competitive Salary.
• Induction programme
• Great holiday entitlement. As well as bank holidays, you'll get 25 days paid holiday (pro rata for part-time staff). This goes up to 30 days when you have been with us for 5 years.
• Brilliant pension scheme. The Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) is a nationwide, career average pension scheme and is a valuable part of the pay and reward package for employees working in local government.
• Excellent training, apprenticeship schemes and CPD opportunities.
• Staff Benefit Scheme supporting Health and Wellbeing.
