7 months 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.
Your pay_ - _our Support Workers receive a rate of £11.00 per hour for all worked hours. Once you are successful for a role with us, full details of your pay will be included in your written offer.
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 Prenton.
- Who do you support?_
We support 2 males who have learning disabilities, mental health needs and complex needs who live in their own flats and are a pleasure to support. They are both non-verbal.
- Where do they live?_
The property consists of 2 self-contained flats.
- What activities do the people that we support at this property like to do?_
One gent is very active and will walk for miles every day. He visits different areas everyday from Wirral to Wales for different walks and activities. He is generous, funny and cheeky. He likes to stick to his routines, but is also very open to change. The gent next door is just as funny and cheeky. He enjoys spending time on his trampoline and going for long drives. He enjoys his food and has a massive sweet tooth.
The people we support would like someone who allows them to do their own things in their own time but is able to help them when they require assistance. They are already quite independent so it is important the support workers do not take away any of their independence.
- What is the team here or is it lone-working?_
The team at this service is large with 12 staff members. One gent generally has 1-1 staffing and the other has 2-1 staffing. The current team are friendly, outgoing and have years of experience combined. The team here know the gents we support best.
- What are your shift patterns?_
The usual shift patterns are 13 hour days, 08.00-21.00 and the nights are 11 hours, 21.00-08.00.
- Please note our Support Workers are contracted by area therefore flexibility is essential to work in other services where required._
