Lead Senior Support Worker

4 months ago

Gateshead, United Kingdom United Response Full time

**Become a Lead Senior Support Worker & make a difference to the lives of members of your Community.**

**_ Female Applicants only under an exemption from the Equality Act 2010 - Section 9 - Part 1 (A) as a genuine occupational requirement_**_._**

Pay increases due in October 2023 rising to £11.90 per hour.

We are currently looking for an experienced social care professional to join our one of our busy supported living services in Gateshead.

**The role of Lead Senior Support Worker**:
Our Lead Senior Support Workers are a key link between support staff and management and are often responsible for the day to day running of the service. You will have a busy role that will involve:

- lone working 1:1
- Working on shift
- Managing the emotional wellbeing of the people we support
- Supporting and mentoring other members of the team
- Dealing with any problems that arise on shift
- Ensuring good practice is adhered to at all times
- Ensuring the people we support have the opportunity to do the things they love
- Accompanying the people we support in the community

**The qualities of a Lead Senior Support Worker**

A good Lead Senior Support Worker should be able to balance the needs of the service, the Support Workers and the people we support. As a senior member of staff you should be able to inspire confidence in your team and help them make sure the highest quality person-centred support is given at all times. You should have previous experience of social care but don’t need to have been in a senior position before.

**Benefits**
- 20 days paid annual leave (plus 8 bank holidays, pro rata for part time), which increases after 3 and 5 years’ service
- Pension Contribution
- The opportunity to be part of our UR Stars Recognition Scheme

**What would you be doing?**

The people we support need thoughtful, enthusiastic and caring people to support them.

Your days will be varied and supporting people with all aspects of daily life means we need you to be adaptable - one part of the day might be supporting people with intimate and personal care, using specially trained moving and handling techniques, the next could be taking them for a walk to the park then sitting with someone to support them hand over hand to prepare dinner for everyone and then helping them to eat what you has been made. Part of your role will be to help them live life to the full meaning no day will ever be the same

**About you**

The people we support need (and want) people who support them to take the time to get to know them - to learn to listen to what they say with both their verbal and nonverbal language. This might be difficult at first but there are members of the team who have known the people we support for many years and will help to support you.

Supporting people also means doing the things that keep us safe and the people we support need staff who can help them to take care of their health needs as well. You will be supporting in attending appointments and working with families to make decisions and advocate where needed.

We need people who are good communicators who can work alone and as part of a team, people who can problem solve and maintain boundaries in a positive and sensitive way.

If you genuinely enjoy making a positive difference in people’s lives, are approachable, motivated, kind and a good listener please do get in touch.
