Totnes, United Kingdom Lifeworks Charity Limited Full time

Support Workers - Early to School (Learning Disabilities)

Dartington, Devon

Salary scale: £11.03 - £11.65 per hour (actual salary £7,048,17 - £7,444.35 per annum)

Working hours: Early to School 07.00-10.00am, Monday - Friday, term time only

We are looking for amazing part-time Support Workers to join our morning team within our 10 bed Residential & Short Break Home in Dartington.

Children and young people with learning disabilities and their families are at the heart of everything we do, and we want every person we support to have a great life with excellent outcomes. We couldn’t achieve that without all the great Support Workers who join our care teams. It all starts with you

There is no such thing as a ‘typical’ Support Worker. Our 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 them all together is their desire to work with young learning-disabled people, make their lives better and help them to learn something new or take a further step towards independence. Our Support Workers certainly don’t see what they do as ‘just another job’.

As an Early to School Support Worker, a typical morning will involve getting the young people up, supporting them with getting ready for their day ahead, helping with breakfast and anything additional that they may need before they leave for school/college.

The hours for this role are 07.00 - 10.00am Monday - Friday, term time only. Due to the nature of this contract, you will not be permitted to take leave during term times and instead, you are paid your holiday entitlement in addition to your wages.

Who are we?

We have been running our services in Devon since 1996, supporting and encouraging people with learning disabilities to realise their aspirations and achieve their very best futures.

Our values run through everything that we do. We work with passion and are kind, friendly, respectful and positive, believing that everyone has the right to be happy, safe and live a fulfilled life.

About you

To be successful in this role we are looking for someone who has:

- Either a L2 in Health & Social Care or L3 Diploma in Residential Childcare (or equivalent) or commit to completing within 2 years of employment, or have the equivalent demonstrable or transferable experience.

What’s in it for you?
- 28 days’ holiday (including bank holidays), plus an extra 2 days after 3 years and another 3 days when you hit 5 years with us.
- A contributory pension scheme & life assurance cover.
- Flexible working options.
- A generous thank you gift if you ‘recommend a friend’ to work with us too.
- Training & progression opportunities open to all.
- Wellbeing resources including access to an employee assistance programme.
- Access to lots of retail and days out discounts.
- Fully funded sign up to your initial DBS and annual update service.

Other organisations may call this role Care Worker, Outreach Worker, Support Practitioner, or Residential Support Worker.
