We change and enhance lives every day through the work we in our day and respite services and in peoples own homes. We do this by maximising their social, emotional, and physical independence to the absolute maximum while promoting independence, choice and control.

Our values are important to all of us, we live and breathe them, they are who we are and how we work together in environments where you and our service users can be inspired to reach your and their potential. If you share our values and commitment, then you’re our kind of person.

**Where our vacancy is**:
We have a waking nights position available in our Winsford Supported Living service. In this team we support groups of three or four of people with learning disabilities living in their own shared home within the community.

Each home is different and reflects the needs and personalities of its residents. They are all equipped with everything the team of support workers need to enhance their lives.

Some of the people we support have complex needs and need support with eating, personal care (bathing, toileting and continence) and can display challenging behaviours. Working in this environment you will develop great relationships and life skills as well as developing professionally.

A dedicated group of night staff are on duty overnight with colleagues supporting throughout the day working shifts including early, late and some split shifts. You will enjoy working alongside the people we support promoting their independence fully accessing the community and supporting them at clubs, groups and socialising.

- With dignity and care to maximise their independence, putting them at the centre of everything you do
- Dressing, feeding, personal care (bathing, toileting and continence care), with finances and giving medications
- Accessing the community, shopping, clubs, groups, swimming, socialising with family and friends joining in too
- Cleaning, cooking, ironing
- Keep accurate and up-to-date records and contribute to and follow care plans
- Ensure they are safeguarded at all times
- And work flexibly as part of a team on early, late and weekends shifts

- Shares our values
- Has a commitment to people with learning and other disabilities

- Willing to undertake personal care and able to undertake manual handing tasks
- Able to support people in the community e.g. shopping, swimming, clubs and activities
- Reliable, flexible and a team player

**And in return**

The benefits of working for the Council go well beyond making a difference to people’s lives, as well as working within a supportive environment with people who share your values you will have access to a huge range of benefits including discounts on:
