Support Worker - Stanley
Are you looking for an empowering and rewarding career where you can help people to lead their most independent lives?
The Lifeways Group in Stanley are currently looking to expand their fantastic team of Support Workers in our local residential services.
Tanglewood Mews is a development of purpose-built individual houses providing residential care and supported living.
There are three bungalows, each with three individual apartments inside, plus two spacious seven-bedroom houses.
One house provides residential care for up to seven individuals, and the other house and flats provide supported living accommodation. There's peace of mind in knowing the Lifeways team is on-hand, providing tailored support that helps people to lead more fulfilling lives, surrounded by like-minded people.
You'll either be an enthusiastic person with plenty of patience looking for a career change to bring new life and experiences into our service or you'll be an experienced Support Worker with a background in complex emotional or behavioural settings looking for a change and wanting to be part of a team that will make a difference to people with complex needs to give them new opportunities in their life both at home and in the community.
You'll get a fully paid induction with ongoing training and support from a dedicated Manager plus the opportunity to undertake a qualification in health and social care funded by Lifeways Group plus so much more when you join.
We work within the principles of person-centred support, enabling development and inclusion in their everyday lives within their home and wider community. Each service user has their own self-contained room within the service buildings and your work will be varied as you'll be supporting with all sorts of activities including swimming, shopping, going for a coffee, going to the cinema, visiting zoos and clubs.
You'll be supporting the service user with general household chores such as cooking, laundry, vacuuming and dusting and in some cases personal care (assisting with bathing, toileting and feeding).
