It’s not a given that you will move up the ranks to manager if you join our team. However, many of our Senior / Lead Facilitators have secured promotion having joined National Star in more junior roles. Whatever your career aspirations if you share our culture and ethos we’re confident you’ll have a rewarding career at National Star. Our Ullenwood campus located at the top of Leckhampton Hill, is looking for a Senior / Lead Care and Support Worker to support the management team of a specific residential area. There is no such thing as a typical student at National Star. They have a range of physical and learning disabilities and different hopes and aspirations for the future. From personalised care to simply being there, you will support the students at college and pursue their hobbies, learn life skills such as cooking and laundry and lead a busy and active life. Your first-class people skills will help you to lead a team of care workers, working together to provide a high standard of individualised care, promoting and encouraging our residents' personal independence. After a comprehensive induction into how we work at National Star, you will be able to work on your own initiative and be able to plan and organise effectively. We’re anticipating that you will have at least two year’s care experience, and for this role it is essential that you have supported residents with a learning and/or physical disability. It is also important that you have a Level 3 qualification in health or social care. Internal candidates are expected to be either a current specialist or advanced Facilitator and hold a level 2 diploma in Health & Social Care. There are posts based at our Ullenwood campus both term time and all year opportunities (term time is 42 weeks per year). The lead role requires shift work, with early shifts starting at 7am and late shifts ending at 10pm and 11pm with alternating weekend working.
