Location: Bonsall View, Derby
Bonsall View is a 7-bed unit that provides Short Break care for adults with learning disabilities, some of whom have Autism, profound and multiple disabilities, or may display behaviours of concern.
You will be responsible for providing intimate personal care to customers of the home and for contributing to the provision of a comfortable yet stimulating environment. This demanding role requires a high level of sensitivity to ensure our customers are supported to make choices and are treated with dignity and respect.
The work involves assisting and moving people, for which you will receive training before starting. You will also attend mandatory training courses as part of your induction and ongoing professional development. There may be occasions when you are asked to work within other DCC homes and services.
You must have:
* Experience of working with vulnerable people and undertaking personal care
* Good communication skills, both oral and written
* Knowledge of care planning and person-centred working
* Knowledge of dignity in care
* The ability to remain calm and professional in challenging situations
* The ability to work early mornings/evenings, weekends, and bank holidays
* Ability to produce accurate records and complete monitoring charts
* A relevant NVQ/QCF qualification at level 2 or above in Health & Social Care is desirable
Hours vary, but you will be expected to work early mornings, evenings, weekends, and bank holidays on a rota basis, which is subject to change to meet service needs. Applicants must be at least 18 years old due to the nature of the role and compliance with Care Quality Commission standards.
