We have a fantastic new opportunity for any care workers who want to work in a full-time and permanent position for an award-winning care provider, supporting the lives of adults with specialist high-support and complex needs in the picturesque Langford area and surrounds.

Now more than ever we need Support Workers. It is an enormously rewarding job – lots of fun but hard work too. No two days are the same, and there can be challenges to be met and overcome, but it can also be fun and, more importantly, you will be making a real and positive difference to someone’s life each and every day.

As a Support Worker you will provide support and care to individuals with a learning disability, mental health needs and/or a physical disability. As a Support Worker, you will support residents to live the lives that they want and to be part of the local community.

You will be an important and valued part of the team, providing excellent standards of support and care, working on a 1-to-1 basis with residents, helping them with all aspects of independent living and assisting with personal care.

Typical Specialist Support Worker duties might include: –

• Assisting clients with getting washed and dressed, preparing meals, prompting and assistance with taking medication
• Light household tasks
• Offering companionship and helping build clients confidence and independence

Applicants MUST have: –

• a full UK driving licence and access to own vehicle (not only to get to and from the service, but also for days out)
• flexibility to work shift patterns, including evenings, alternate weekends, some bank holidays and sleep-ins

Additional benefits include: –

* Apprenticeships – earn whilst gaining a fully funded Level 2 Diploma in Health & Social Care with a Top 100 Apprenticeship Employer

* Access to a comprehensive benefits package, which includes a great number of discounts and rewards across shops, restaurants, gym membership and days out; but also an Employee Assistance Programme, with telephone and face-to-face support options, as well as support for financial wellbeing

* Access to award-winning training and development

* Annual staff award scheme and peer recognition through an awards programme

* 20 days holiday (plus 8 bank holidays)

* A contributory pension scheme & life assurance

* Free DBS Check

* As a “key worker” you will benefit from government incentive schemes

Whilst we want applications from Support Workers who have previous experience of working in a similar environment, full training will be provided. The most important element for applicants is that they should be caring, compassionate & empathetic.

Whether you are an experienced Support Worker or fancy a change in career and believe you have the natural skills for this exciting and rewarding career, we want to hear from you.
