As a Support Worker, you will play a key role in helping young people with learning disabilities to lead fulfilling and independent lives.

* Assist with personal care tasks, including hygiene, dressing, and feeding, as required.
* Develop positive and trusting relationships with the children, promoting their emotional development and self-confidence.
* Implement individual care plans tailored to the needs of each child, supporting their growth, learning, and independence.
* Work collaboratively with colleagues, parents, and external professionals (e.g., social workers, therapists) to ensure holistic care for each child.
* Assist in maintaining a clean, safe, and nurturing environment within the home.
* Monitor and document the children's progress, behaviours, and any changes in their needs or care requirements.
* Support the children in managing their emotions and behaviours through de-escalation techniques and positive reinforcement strategies.
* Participate in regular team meetings, training, and development opportunities to continuously improve the quality of care provided.
* Build positive relationships with relatives and outside agencies and facilitate and supervise family visits.
* Safeguard all the young people living in the home, following company policy and procedures.

* Diploma level 4 in Health and Social Care (Children and Young People) or equivalent qualification is an advantage but not a necessity.
* Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build rapport with children and work effectively in a team.
* A caring, patient, and empathetic attitude, with a commitment to promoting the rights and well-being of children with learning disabilities.
* Ability to manage challenging behaviours in a calm, professional, and positive manner.
* Flexibility to work shifts, including evenings, weekends, and public holidays along with sleep-in duties.
* A full driving licence is required and must also include business insurance.
