Overview
We are looking for a team of proactive Support Workers to join our brand new Supported Living Services in Hucknall. We will be opening two bungalows next door to each other, supporting four individuals with a Learning Disability in each. Shifts will vary, depending on the day and whom you’ll be supporting but we require flexibility to cover three key shifts: 07:00 – 14:30, 14:30 – 22:00 and a Sleep-in/Waking Night shift which is 22:00 – 07:00. We also require flexibility to work at the weekends. The people we will be supporting are a varied bunch with a number of different needs and interests. Some of the individuals will require support with relationships, living independently for the first time and being as active as possible – this won’t be a service where you’ll be sat still for long Due to the active nature of the people we support, being a driver will be beneficial for the role. Care needs of the service will vary; some individuals will require full support with Personal Care while other will require more emotional support and encouragement. Experience with Epilepsy/Cerebral Palsy would also be beneficial. Some of the people we support are also Non Verbal so it’ll be key to learn/know some different communication techniques. The role will also consist of the typical day to day support tasks, including household chores, administering medication and completing regular checks. One of the most amazing things about being a Support Worker is that anyone can do it As long as you have a positive attitude and want to improve the lives of those with a learning disability, we will support you with award winning training and progression opportunities throughout your career with us.
