Support Worker, 39 Hours Per Week, Perm
3 days ago
Being a Support Worker at AFG is a hugely rewarding role and could be your first step on a long and happy career in Health & Social Care.
**So, what does a Support Worker do?**
We have a vision to create _a world where people control their lives. _Here at AFG, we pride ourselves on helping the people we support to design, develop and ‘own’ the support they receive by planning this with them; we support people to make informed choices and increase their own independence; and we support people to maintain their own health, wellbeing and living environment. These principles are really important to us.
Our Support Workers work in a variety of settings including community-based services (often supporting people in their own homes) to our Treatment & Recovery Centres.
One thing that is common across all of our services is a focus on personalised support and tailoring our services to the needs and aspirations of the people we support with a diverse range of care needs (including Learning Disabilities, Physical Disabilities, Mental Health Concerns, Complex Care, Substance Misuse issues to name a few).
**We value the people that work with us**
At AFG we recognise the contribution and value that our staff make. We would not be able to provide the life changing support that we do without people like you In return for your contribution we will support you throughout your career and we provide a wide range of employee benefits, career development (including opportunities to undertake vocational qualifications) and lifestyle support services to ensure that you too feel supported, fulfilled and valued from day one of your employment with us.
**About you**
There are a few things that we look for in all of our support workers; we would need you to
- be a good communicator (verbally and in writing)
- be patient, confident and enthusiastic about caring for others
- be able to use your own initiative
- be able to work as part of a team
- have flexibility to work a varied shift pattern to provide 24-hour support
- share our AFG values
We don’t ask for any other relevant training or a previous career in care as full training will be provided - you just need a willingness to learn and develop.
As a ‘values based’ employer, the people that work for us genuinely care about the people they support, and we are seeking likeminded people to join our AFG family. If you are passionate about caring for others and have a real desire to make a positive difference to the lives of the people we support then we would love to hear from you.
**More about this vacancy...**
We asked the Team Leader to tell us more about this role and the amazing person that we need to work here.
- Where is this vacancy based?_
This vacancy is based in Aigburth / Liverpool
- Who do you support?_
Six females and six males are supported at this service.
The people you will be supporting experience enduring complex mental health needs and some have substance misuse issues.
- Where do they live?_
This vacancy is based in the Aigburth (L17) area
- What would a typical shift be like?_
The people we support take part in a wide range of interests from gaming to beauty salons to hiking.
Many of them are part of community groups/activities which they regularly attend: chess club, boxing, bingo, football, church and lunch clubs.
Most of the service users also receive regular input from a wide range of other agencies across Merseyside such as specialist therapist services.
Therefore, although your shifts will begin at the service, you will often be going out on one-to-one support into the community on public transport.
They require support with finances, household chores, managing their tenancy, building social skills, health and hygiene needs, attending appointments, lifestyle skills and medication management.
The role can sometimes involve some limited personal care such as shower support.
Driver desirable
- What is the team here or is it lone-working?_
A minimum of two support workers are on duty in the service at any given time.
- What are your shift patterns?_
We are looking for someone who can work flexible shifts.
- Please note our Support Workers are contracted by area therefore flexibility is essential to work in other services where required._
