Job Advert Role Description
We are currently looking to grow our already established and dedicated team of support workers at our site near Wakefield. Sat just north of Wakefield, Gateholme is one of Priory Adult Care's specialist services, providing support for up to 48 residents split over 7 focused units. Gateholme provides assessment and support for adults living with a primary learning disability diagnosis but who may present complex conditions. Some of our service users also have communication difficulties or predominantly have dual diagnosis, as well as a range of other disabilities such as Epilepsy, Down’s Syndrome, and Dementia. The service offers 24/7 specialist residential support and is committed to providing just enough support to empower and encourage individuals to develop the skills they need to live as independently as possible and achieve positive outcomes for all.
* Do you believe that everyone is entitled to the very best care and support?
* Do you want to make a lasting difference in people’s lives?
* Do you want to support people to help them achieve their goals, dreams, and aspirations?
We do, and we are passionate about providing excellent care and support to individuals with learning disabilities, autism, Prader-Willi Syndrome, or mental health conditions. As a support worker, you will have the opportunity to be part of thousands of stories of inspiring care and support for our residents and service users.
As a support worker, you will support our residents with their day-to-day lives, encouraging them to live as independently as possible. You may also get involved in activities outside of the home – our residents participate in day trips, charity events, and much more!
Our ideal support worker will:
* Be reliable, friendly, and caring to help our service users achieve their everyday goals (including personal care)
* Support in-house activities and hobbies
* Be attentive and inspire our service users to achieve more!
* Be resilient and help manage some challenging behaviors
Whilst drivers can take residents out and about, you don’t need to be a driver to work here – we employ many non-drivers too!
What we’ll give you:
* A rewarding job, full of variety and opportunities for career development
* Brilliant, ongoing training to help you achieve more
* Support from an experienced and friendly team of colleagues
* A range of salary sacrifice benefits, cashback rewards, pension options, and much more!
* Access to our Career Pathways, which will help shape your career with us – you can work towards goals and milestones that will take your career in whichever direction you wish
