Do you have a passion for care? Do you want to help people with mild learning disabilities live independently and happily?
We are looking for a Full time Support Worker to join our supported living residential service in Aldridge WS9. As part of a team, you will be supporting 12 male and female residents in their own home with learning disabilities, mental health conditions and autism. Each person has different likes and hobbies, such as shopping, cooking, swimming, going on trips and participating in hub activities like film nights, pamper sessions and meals. You will be responsible for providing prompts for personal care, medication, daily living skills and activities to the people you support, and you will be part of a great team that will help you achieve your true potential.
Shift times are 7am – 2.30pm or 2.30pm – 10pm / alternate weekends. Full‑time hours and flexibility required.
At this present time, we are unable to consider Sponsorship for this role.
About the role
As a Support Worker you will be supporting individuals with PMLD (Profound and Multiple Learning Disabilities) and mild learning disabilities. The role may include manual handling, medication administration, personal care, food preparation, household tasks, supporting individuals to keep in contact with family and friends, accessing the community, and attending appointments. You will provide support for daily living skills and help with socialisation.
The people we support may, on occasion, display behaviours that are challenging and some of these could be physical in nature.
We recognise each person as an individual and provide a unique service that is person‑centred and tailored to their needs. The role is to promote the individual’s independence, choice, dignity and respect by delivering the best standards of support. We offer people with PMLD a safe and secure home where they can live independently with the support they need.
Ideally the successful person would have a qualification in health and social care (but this is not essential) or will have worked either in supported living settings and/or with individuals with PMLD.
