Support Worker; Supported Living Services

Radis Community Care has an opportunity for Support Workers for our new Supported Living Service, in Baildon Shipley, Bradford.

Our Supported Living Service in Shipley is home to 9 young adults with Learning Disabilities and other presenting needs. We support people to live independently and take part in community-based activities such as swimming, going to the cinema and the theatre and to engage in meaningful employment (voluntary or paid). The people we support have a good sense of humour and would benefit from staff with upbeat/chatty personalities.

The role may include manual handling, medication administration, personal care, food preparation, household tasks, supporting individuals to stay connected with family and friends, accessing the community, and attending appointments. We provide support for daily living skills and help support with socialisation.

We recognise each person as an individual and provide a unique service which 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.

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 Learning Disabilities.

Established in 2001, Radis has grown to become a leading provider of community based social care and support for thousands of vulnerable adults and children in England and Wales, focused on supporting people to live independently in their own homes and part of their local communities.
