Job Introduction

Please note this role is not eligible for sponsorship.

Could you see yourself supporting us to live fulfilled lives? Do you enjoy going on day trips, cinema trips and coffee & cake afternoons? Would you be able to inject some liveliness into the boring tasks we need a little support with such as cleaning and cooking? Can you see yourself encouraging us to build relationships with people in our local community and helping us maintain relationships with those important to us?

In this service we would like someone who can communication in many different ways, someone who is friendly, respects other and helps us look our best at all times with a smile on their face.

Does this sound like you, if so we would love to meet you

Where will I be working?

Our service in Thurcroft needs people who are team players and can inspire individuals with a learning disability to remain independent. No one day is the same and duties will vary from support with day to day living, to supporting individuals to attend doctors' appointments, helping with medication and personal care as well as lots of fun, like days out and holidays. It's a busy role, with a moderate requirement to support with manual handling, and you must be able to work on a Rota basis to provide some weekend and night cover.

We use a digital social care record system, to support daily recording, which will make your day-to-day tasks easier and allows you to spend more time with the People We Support.

Shift Patterns

The support is a 24 hour service, therefore flexibility is essential. You will be working a range of shifts from 7:00/8:00 am to 2:00/3:00pm and 2:00/3:00pm to 9:00/10:00pm,sleep ins or waking nights, some weekends.

Please note that working hours may vary from home to home.

Role Responsibility

What will I be doing?

This is a hands-on job in which no two days are the same. Some of your duties will involve:

Promoting the independence of people we support

Supporting a full range of daily activities including cleaning and cooking, days out or going away on holiday

Arranging activities in the home and in the local community

Developing residents' life skills and personal interests

Helping residents stay safe and healthy

Assisting with personal care needs

Manual handling

Supporting people with medication 

Ensuring record keeping is maintained to the required standard at all times and contributing to service monitoring requirements

Supporting with Hydrotherapy

The Ideal Candidate

What skills and qualities do I need to have?

Passionate, caring and enthusiastic

Flexible, patient and non-judgemental

A great team player with lots of energy

Able to demonstrate good communication skills

Able to complete the physical aspects of the role such as manual handling

Willing to learn and complete training
