Overview
We’re recruiting!
Join us as a Waking Nights Support Worker and create a future where learning-disabled people live the best life possible.
The person you will be supporting has complex needs, including dementia and poor mental health. Therefore, previous experience in health and social care is essential.
We know that life can be complicated for everybody. But some of us are stopped from working towards our dreams. Many learning-disabled people won’t be heard about the support they’d like. Some won’t get to decide what they do for work. Or how to spend or save their money. Many won\u2019t get to try out the new hobbies they’d love to try.
But you can change all that.
Join our growing team in Bidford and get all the training you need to become a confident Support Worker.
Do you feel like our values - Kind, Diverse, Positive and Visionary - are a good match to your values? Then we’ve got lots in common already. Come on board and support learning disabled adults with those very values to develop skills, achieve their life goals and thrive in your community.
What we offer you
* Where you’ll be working: Bidford, Worcestershire
* Your salary: £13.76 per hour (basic rate of £12.51 plus 10% waking nights uplift)
* Your working hours: 8pm - 08:30am (12.5 hrs). With flexibility to work some weekends.
* Training & development: Earn money while you get a fully funded Level 2 Diploma in Health & Social Care.
* Lots of benefits: Health, retail and cash incentives to use how you want.
What you’ll be doing
Every day is different. This can vary from supporting someone to plan their weekly shop, to going on an outdoor adventure. Providing everyday personal care to supporting someone to go to their favourite gig. Building someone’s confidence in using public transport to teaching money management skills. What’s important is supporting people to discover new interests, achieve new goals and maintain important relationships with their family and friends.
You’ll provide the highest possible standard of care and support for learning disabled adults. Listening to their wants and needs, enabling people to do daily tasks such as taking medication, cooking a meal or working with them to build their confidence and take on new adventures they are longing for. All this while working a variety of shifts to support your work and home life balance.
We can’t wait to meet you at our Bidford service!
