You will be working alongside our physiotherapy team, Occupational Therapist, Speech and Language Therapists, and Neuropsychologist, ensuring goals and interventions set by our therapy team are met.
Are you an experienced care worker or would love to start a career in care?
If so, we would love to hear from you! Apply now, helping us to continue our great work making a positive impact every day on the lives of people with a disability.
Our Service Users have acquired brain injuries and/or physical disabilities that make independence harder, but they all share a desire to make their own choices, as well as friends and memories that last a lifetime. After all, isn’t that what most of us want? As a Support Worker for a leading charity, you’ll help make that happen.
Some Service Users are non-verbal and immobile, so you might support Team Leaders with medical interventions. There will be some personal care and medical appointments too. But where possible, the rest of the day is down to them. Working together with our Service Users, you will help to devise a weekly planner that includes daily activities, therapy activities, outings, meal planning, etc.
Care Assistant, Support Worker, or similar experience is desirable but not essential. We offer an excellent training and induction programme for everyone!
As a Support Worker with Leonard Cheshire, you will become part of a fantastic team. Every day is different, but here are some of the duties you will do:

* Escort and assist in and around the service, at external events and appointments.
* Supporting our Person-Centred approach, encouraging maximum independence for our customers and helping to achieve individual aspirations.
* Maintain up-to-date and accurate records.
