Someone who can demonstrate an understanding of the changing needs of older people with a learning disability. If so then we are seeking you to join our team in a Care Worker role, working across our 24 hour Independent Supported Living Schemes, in the Beverley and East Riding area.
The Supported Housing Team is a CQC registered service that works across local communities to support people who have a learning disability to live as independently as possible in their own homes.
A person centred and flexible approach to work on your own initiative when lone working.
Have good time management skills and desirably a knowledge of the support planning and risk assessment processes.
You will also hold a full driving licence and have your own vehicle for use for work purposes (travel mileage allowances paid).
Have the Care Certificate.
Have extensive experience working in a social care setting.
Personal care routines, household tasks, menu planning and cooking, medication and health appointments, some social activities and outings, employment, hobbies and interests.
You must be willing to develop skills and undertake required training for the role.
Hours are worked on a shift rota basis, which is run over seven days, and will include working some evenings, alternate weekends, some sleep-in duties, and some bank holiday working, all for which additional allowances are paid.
In return you will receive a very competitive salary, a range of wellbeing and discount scheme benefits, the opportunity to develop professionally, access to quality training and experiential learning, and the support of an excellent manager and team.
Although the team is based at Millers Day Service, this post is not to work in the day service but out in the community.
