Your role as a support worker will include: To provide high quality, person-centered care involving a broad range of often complex social, emotional and recreational needs, recognising the potential of each Service User and to promote through actions and words the achievement of that potential including working as part of a team. To meet the individual care and support needs of Service Users using the service in a way that promotes, dignity, privacy, safety and independence. To ensure the effective use of resources in providing this care and support Skills and Requirements: You will, ideally, have already achieved a Diploma or NVQ Level 3 in Health & Social Care (adults) or equivalent but this is not essential. You will preferably hold a current driving license, be able to remain calm in difficult situations. You will be providing service users with a structured programme of care, vocational, social and independence training, with the object of building up and repairing damaged confidence, and increasing their self-discipline and self-advocacy skills.

If you are interested, then please contact Gemma Lee-Beresford at Axcis Education. Please note: The details of this job are correct as of the start of the school closures.

We are therefore continuing to accept applications but please bear with us as there may be a delay on the listed start date due to the fact that the situation is continually evolving.
