Support Workers Needed: Together We Can Make a Difference Are you a compassionate and dedicated individual, perhaps with a nursing background, ready to make a real difference in people's lives?
We're looking for exceptional support workers to help create a warm and welcoming environment for people with multiple learning and physical disabilities.
Our clients, aged from their mid-twenties to mid-sixties, need assistance with daily activities such as medication support, personal care, and feeding (including PEG tube assistance).
But it's not just about the essentials; we also engage in fun activities like swimming, arts and crafts, dining out, and local outings in our mini-bus.
You'll share mealtimes, cooking delicious meals that everyone can enjoy, alongside a dedicated multi-disciplinary team, including registered nurses available around the clock.
Many of our clients communicate in unique ways, so your ability to read non-verbal cues will be essential.
Every small action can make a big impact, and the rewardslike a smile or a moment of relaxationare immeasurable.
Position Details: Full-time and Part-Time roles available Relief hours also available Shifts: Rotational, including days, evenings, weekends, and bank holidays Who Are We Looking For?
This role is perfect for someone with a nursing background or related experience.
You don't need prior experience as a support worker, just a passion for supporting others and a willingness to learn.
Each day offers new opportunities to empower those we serve, and witnessing the positive impact you have on their lives is truly fulfilling.
The ideal candidate is a great listener, empathetic, and eager to understand and meet the needs of those you support.
Important: Due to the location, a driver with a manual UK license and access to their own vehicle for commuting is a must.
With your enthusiasm and our training, we can together provide the highest quality support.
