Job description

Can you make a difference?

An exciting opportunity has arisen to work within a 7-bed Unit that provides Short Break care for adults with profound and complex learning disabilities, some of whom have Autism, profound and multiple disabilities or may display behaviours of concern. If you can make that difference, this is the role for you.


You will be responsible for providing intimate personal care to customers in the Unit and for contributing to the provision of a comfortable yet stimulating environment. This is a demanding role which requires a high level of sensitivity in order to ensure our customers are supported to make choices and treated with dignity and respect.


The work will involve assisting and moving people for which you will receive training before you start work. You will also be required to attend other mandatory training courses as part of your induction programme and any future training as part of the role.


You must have:
• Experience of working with vulnerable people and being able to undertake personal care.
• Good communication skills both oral and written.
• Knowledge of care planning and person-centred working
• Knowledge of dignity in care
• The ability to remain calm and professional in challenging situations.
• The ability to work early mornings / evenings, weekends, and Bank Holidays
• The ability to produce accurate daylily Log recordings and complete monitoring charts.

A relevant NVQ/QCF qualification at level 2 or above in Health & Social Care is desirable.


Hours of work will vary, but you will be expected to work early mornings, evenings, weekends, and Bank Holidays on a rota basis. The rota covers a rolling period; however, this is subject to change to meet the needs of the Service.


PREVIOUS APPLICANTS NEED NOT APPLY

Due to the nature of the post and to meet Care Quality Commission (CQC) standards, you will need to be at least 18 years of age.
