Location: Hatherlow House, Southport

Hours: 2 roles available (24 hours per week & Relief/Bank role)

Salary: £12.92 per hour

For this role, we are currently considering candidates who live within approximately 15 miles of the Scheme. This ensures commutes are manageable and support your wellbeing and work-life balance. If you live outside this area but would still find the commute manageable, please get in touch - we are happy to review individual circumstances.

About the role

We are looking for caring, compassionate and reliable Care and Support Workers to join our team at MHA. This is a rewarding role where you will support older people to live independently, safely and with dignity, while making a genuine difference to their everyday lives.

As a Care and Support Worker, you will provide person-centred care and support tailored to each individual's needs. You will help create a warm, respectful and supportive environment, guided by MHA's values and commitment to helping people live later life well.

What you will do

  • Provide care and support to meet residents' personal, social, emotional, spiritual and practical needs, in line with individual care and support plans.
  • Act as a key worker for a group of service users, supporting their wellbeing and settling into the scheme.
  • Assist with personal care, hygiene, mobility and the safe use of aids and equipment, following care plans and risk assessments.
  • Promote residents' dignity, privacy, choice and independence at all times.
  • Support residents with day-to-day tasks such as housekeeping, laundry, shopping and managing their home environment where agreed.
  • Encourage and support participation in social activities and outings to promote wellbeing and reduce isolation.
  • Respond appropriately to calls for assistance and emergency situations, following scheme procedures.
  • Maintain accurate written and verbal records in line with confidentiality and organisational policies.
  • Work as part of a team, attending meetings, training, supervisions and appraisals as required.

About you

We are looking for someone who is kind, patient and committed, with a genuine interest in supporting older people.

You will bring:

  • A caring and respectful approach, with sensitivity to the needs of older people.
  • The ability to work well as part of a team and communicate clearly with residents, colleagues and professionals.
  • Good listening skills and the ability to follow instructions and care plans.
  • Willingness to undertake training, including working towards a QCF Level 2 in Health & Social Care (if not already achieved).
  • Previous care experience is desirable but not essential, as full training and support will be provided.

Why join MHA?

You will be joining an organisation with strong values, a supportive culture and a commitment to the wellbeing of both residents and colleagues. At MHA, we believe this is more than just a job – it's a career where you can feel proud of the difference you make every day.

In addition to a competitive hourly rate, you will enjoy:

  • 28 days holiday (including bank holidays) and an option to buy annual leave (pro-rota for part time).
  • A strong pension scheme and life assurance
  • Free DBS checks and uniforms
  • Confidential counselling, chaplaincy support and access to our hardship fund
  • Flexible options to buy or sell annual leave, plus family-friendly policies
  • Discounts through the Blue Light Card, Health Service Discounts and the Vivup app
  • A full induction, ongoing training, recognised qualifications and clear career progression
  • Long service awards to celebrate your contribution
