This is a Temporary Full Time Role of a Support Worker- (Maternity Cover, 9m FTC)
Chartwell Trust Care are looking for Support Workers to provide outstanding support to our residents. Full Time, 36 hours per week. Days shifts available.
Chartwell Trust Care runs a number of residential care homes and supported living services throughout Leicester, supporting individuals with complex behaviours, Autism, and/or learning disabilities.
Every day will be different - each resident has their own likes and dislikes, preferred activities and support needs. You'll provide excellent person-centred support and liaise with other professionals to ensure all needs are met.
This role is challenging but does bring a sense of satisfaction like no other. You may spend one day taking a resident to their medical appointments then doing some crafts in the afternoon, and another day assisting the resident to clean their home or learn a new skill or activity. You'll be able to think outside of the box, coming up with creative solutions and new ways of working. Seeing our residents gain more independence and improving their quality of life is the best part of the job, these 'success stories' are the reason we do what we do
We provide an excellent training and induction programme for all new starters. This will ensure you'll be confident in using the residents care plans to structure their week, understand their medical needs and ensure all documentation and notes are updated to a high standard. You'll liaise with multi-disciplinary teams to ensure residents receive the best possible results from all areas, and act as an informal advocate to ensure they receive the support required.
We love to invest in our staff, so this role opens up the opportunity to progress to Team Leader, Deputy Manager, and Registered Manager roles.
In return for your skills and experience, we can offer you:
* A competitive pay rate of £12.60 per hour
* Competitive annual leave allowance
* Health & Wellbeing- Employee Assist Program
* 'Employee of the Month' scheme
* DBS, extensive training and NVQ's funded by the company
* Career progression opportunities to grow within the company
* A fun, supportive environment for you to work in
* Competitive hourly overtime rate
We'd love to have you on board the Chartwell Team
