Generic Support Worker - Community Response Teams

Do you want to make a difference to people’s lives within the community you love, working as part of a welcoming and supportive team?
We are looking for people that are kind, compassionate, creative, problem‑solvers, with excellent communication skills, to join our expanding team across the York, South Hambleton and Ryedale areas. Within your role you will form a crucial part of the Multi‑Disciplinary Team, delivering a high standard of health care to patients living within their own homes, facilitating short‑term rehabilitation, reablement and recovery in order to avoid unnecessary hospital admissions and enable patients to recover following an acute hospital stay.
You will work closely with patients and their families, nursing and therapy colleagues within the team, and will build connections with health and social care partners across the local system. Taking a re‑ablement approach the service supports people to return to, and/or, remain in their own home.
We are looking for candidates who can motivate individuals, aid their recovery and maximise independence to achieve the goals that matter to them. Roles are available across York, South Hambleton & Ryedale areas.
You will undertake duties delegated by the Nursing, Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy teams, and will be responsible for providing holistic, person‑centred, compassionate health care to patients 18 years and over, supporting rehabilitation, reablement and recovery within the comfort of the patient’s home.
We provide a 7‑day service, between the hours of 8 am – 8 pm; therefore successful candidates will take part in a rota that covers the hours of the service, however we do offer a flexible and varied shift pattern.
