Lee Hampshire, United Kingdom Elysium Healthcare Full time €21,821

Are you an experienced Senior Support Worker looking to elevate your career, where you can make a real difference and change lives for the better? If so, join Beech Grove,and provide care for adults with complex mental health needs.You will be key in supporting individuals to lead a full and valued life. It's a career that you can take pride in.

Our Care Home service, known as Community Houses, has rapidly expanded with 4 sites across Keighley that offer a step-down service to adults with complex mental health needs.

We are a unique service which offers enhanced care to our Service Users to continue with their rehabilitation journey, including physical health monitoring with support from local medical centres.

Each service is a large residential house with an office and is where you will help our Service Users to carry out routine daily tasks - everything from help with cooking, cleaning, activities in the community and encouraging independent living in their future. You will even have day trip visits to the seaside with service users as part of this role.

At Beech Grove,you will have the chance to develop your skills and career. With a huge range of courses on offer, if you have the aspiration, capability and dedication, Elysium Healthcare can give you the support and opportunities to help you achieve your career goals.

What you will be doing

You will join the qualified and experienced team that supports people with mental health conditions. As a step-down service between Three Valleys Hospital and Independent Living, service users who are ready to leave the hospital setting but do not quite have the full life skills to live on their own in the community are supported.

Whether you have been a Healthcare Assistant, Support Worker or a Care Worker, you can utilise your experience to support people to lead a valued and fulfilled life.

We have a 4-tier working structure and all Senior Community Support Workers are on one level. You will report to a Team Leader with the Registered Manager and Deputy on-site daily and can be approached for support, questions and anything else you will need. The last staff survey identified that at our staff answered yes to the question 'I feel well supported by my line manager'.

You will work across all four houses and encourage our Service Users to lead a full and valued life, helping them to live more independently, so a positive attitude, compassion, resilience and vigilance are important. It can at times be a challenging environment, but regular feedback from staff is that it is hugely rewarding to see people improve; being able to do something today that they couldn't do last week because of you.

As a 24/7 service the standard shift pattern is on a rolling two-week basis covering days, nights and weekends. Overtime is also available and occasional flexibility can also be offered.

Community Support Worker duties include:

  • Assist Service Users with their day-to-day activities i.e. Cooking, cleaning, washing, some personal care

  • Issuing Medication
  • General duties such as admin, cleaning, stock ordering, contacting external healthcare services

  • Experience as Senior Support Worker or extensive care experience from a learningdisabilityand autism residential setting and hold the NVQ Level 3 in Health and Social Care.
  • Leadership skillsand experience
  • Strong empathy and a caring and compassionate nature
  • Willingness to support residents with personal hygiene
  • Excellent people and communication skills, and a good sense of humour
