About Us:
Dimensions is an award-winning, life-changing, not-for-profit charity dedicated to promoting independence and improving the quality of life for every individual we support. As a values-driven employer, we believe there's nothing more rewarding than a career in care.
The Role:
We are seeking compassionate and dedicated Support Workers to join our team in Fareham. You will be supporting two gentlemen with complex needs who do not use words to communicate. One of the individuals uses a wheelchair and requires hoisting; he is also PEG fed.
What We Offer:
* A Meaningful Career: You'll make a tangible difference in the lives of people with learning disabilities, autism, and other complex needs.
* Comprehensive Support: In this role, you'll assist with personal care, manage behaviours of distress, support individuals with epilepsy, and more.
* Training & Development: We provide full training, including specialised training for PEG feeding, hoisting, and understanding complex needs.
What We're Looking For:
If you are caring, kind, and thoughtful, and have a passion for supporting others, we would love to hear from you. Experience in care is beneficial but not essential-we value your attitude and willingness to learn.
Shift Pattern: 7.00 am - 2.30 pm and 2.30 pm - 10.00 pm
Dimensions is proud to be one of very few social care organisations that are accredited by the Great Places To Work programme in 2024 - now 6 years in a row!
