**Senior Support Worker - Days (Learning Disabilities)**
Shinners Bridge, Dartington, Devon
Hours: Full-Time Days (40 hours per week)
Salary scale: £11.36 - £11.70 per hour
Contract: Permanent
**The Role**
There is no such thing as a 'typical’ Support Worker. Staff come from lots of different backgrounds, people with little or no experience but want a job that involves helping people, those who want a change of career, as well as experienced Support Workers.
The one thing that links all of them together is their desire to work with young people with learning disabilities, make their lives better and help them to learn something new or take a further step towards independence.
Support Workers certainly don’t see what they do as 'just another job’.
No two days will be the same as you will get involved in a variety of different tasks and activities whilst helping the young people to learn the skills they need to live the life they choose.
**About You**
Ideally, you will have previous experience in this sector and must hold (or currently be studying to obtain) a Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare (or equivalent).
In return the organisation will support you in making care work your career, offering you an extensive induction on commencement of employment and an amazing array of training opportunities and will also work with you on your own individual development planto help you to progress your career.
