Who you’ll be supporting & more about the role:
Who will you be supporting?
We support a range of individuals with a range of different needs and abilities.
In one area of the building we support over 55’s with physical or mental health needs.
On the other side of the building we support under 55’s with mental health.
It is a lovely community that all come together and socialise in the communal areas.
We have 70 apartments and there are 66 people that live here the amount of people we support varies depending on care packages at the time at present we support 28 people but we do have some vacancies so this will increase.
You would need to be fully trained in medication administration, moving and positioning, epilepsy, diabetes, nutrition.You will be given full training on this in your induction with us.
What is important to us?
It is important that we are supportive of everyone and their abilities and needs, we promote independence. Some people we support require low level support such as support with meals, medication, cleaning, others can require a higher level of support with personal care and moving and positioning. The aim of the extra care services is to enable people to live independently but with staff on site 24/7. Some people we support can live in their own apartment but need four calls a day supporting with meals, personal care, medication and cleaning, they don’t need a nursing/care home but they do need a higher level of support.
We also support people with their social hours such as going out into the community for days out, meals out, shopping and supporting to medical appointments.
Our extra care services are not secure buildings and people are free to come and go as they please and have visitors whenever they want there are DOLS in place, everyone has their own front door. They all have pendants which are linked to the phones the support team carry and these are responded to as and when people press them for emergency support.
Other important information? The staff on duty during the day is 3 in the morning and three in the afternoon and two waking night staff. There are no commissioned calls through the night you are there to respond to any emergency pendant calls. We also have an on call service for community integrated care and also each housing provider has an emergency out of hours contact. Shifts range from early shifts 8-3, 3-8,8-8 Night shifts are usually 8pm till 8am
