Support Worker
Nottingham, Linby
£24,030 - £24,513 per annum
Do you have experience in hospitality and customer service? Would you like to make a real difference in the community away from the noises of the city, surrounded by a bed of greenery?
If so, we have a fantastic opportunity for you to join our Sherwood House team as a Support Worker.
Please note that we are not currently offering visa sponsorships.
The Service
Sherwood House is a registered care home which runs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We provide person-centred care and support to 19 elderly residents who have chosen this home as their place to retire and live happily ever after.
The Role
As a Support Worker at Sherwood House, you will play a vital role in providing practical and emotional support to our residents. Your main responsibility is to help residents live as independently as possible, while respecting their choices and preferences.
Sherwood House has a dedicated Chef and Activity Coordinator, so your focus will be on:
* Supporting residents with personal hygiene and personal care
* Encouraging community engagement and social activities
* Offering companionship and emotional support
This role may involve moving and handling tasks and risk management, so you must be comfortable and willing to undertake these duties. For full details, check out the Role Profile at the bottom of the page.
What We’re Looking For
We are seeking a friendly, calm, and resilient individual who is passionate about delivering high-quality care.
Essential skills and experience:
* Previous experience in hospitality or strong customer service skills
* Experience in a care role is highly desirable
* Understanding of age-related health needs
* Excellent communication skills and attention to detail
If you are enthusiastic about protecting human rights, promoting choice and independence, and helping people live meaningful lives, we would love to hear from you!
Travelling to Sherwood House
Due to its location, candidates who can drive are highly desirable, as public transport involves a 20-minute walk to the care home from The National School in Hucknall, which is the furthest the threes buses (Trent Barton) can take you to in your journey to us. The home is a 7-minute drive from the High Street in Hucknall.
Working Hours
All successful candidates will be required to work on a rota basis over a 24-hour period including weekends and bank holidays; a bonus is paid for waking nights. Shift Patterns include: 07:00-15:00, 08:00-13:00, 08:30-12:30, 13:30-21:30, 07:00-14:30, 14:00-21:15, and 21:15- 07:15 waking nights.
Why Join Sherwood House?
* Full training provided – we’ll ensure you feel confident and supported
* A role that makes a real difference in people’s lives
* Work in a team that values NCHA’s CLEAR values.
Interviews will be done on an ongoing basis; we reserve the right to close this vacancy early if enough interest is received.
