Support Worker - Choppington

Are you compassionate with a desire to make an everlasting impact on the lives of others?

Lifeways – Specialist Support Services serving your local community

Are you looking for a career that transforms lives for the better? Do you have a passion to make a real impact in your local community? Lifeways offers genuine, rewarding career progression and investment in recognised qualifications. We are the UK’s largest supported living healthcare provider and have been proudly supporting communities since 1995.

The Lifeways Group in Choppington is currently looking to expand its team of Support Workers in our local residential services.

The property has been split into two separate bungalows, joined by a corridor and sharing a utility room. Flax One has five bedrooms, while Flax Two has four. Both bungalows have one bathroom with a shower over a high-low bath, overhead tracking, and an accessible toilet.

Flax One features a kitchen, an open-plan dining and living room, and an accessible toilet. Flax Two includes a kitchen, a dining room, a living room, a laundry room, and an accessible toilet.

Flax Cottages also have two accessible gardens with patios—one for each bungalow. People enjoy spending time outdoors when the weather is good and often come together for BBQs. Assistive technology can be tailored to suit individual needs. The property has level access, and Flax One has widened doors for wheelchair access.

You’ll be either an enthusiastic person with plenty of patience, looking for a career change to bring new life and experiences into our service, or an experienced Support Worker with a background in complex emotional or behavioral settings, seeking a change and wanting to be part of a team that makes a difference to two young people with complex needs, providing them with new opportunities both at home and in the community.

You’ll receive a fully paid induction, ongoing training and support from a dedicated Manager, and the opportunity to undertake a funded qualification in health and social care, among other benefits when you join.

We work within the principles of person-centred support, enabling development and inclusion in daily life within their home and the wider community. Each service user has their own self-contained room, and your work will be varied, supporting activities such as swimming, shopping, going for coffee, visiting the cinema, zoos, and clubs.

You’ll support the service users with household chores like cooking, laundry, vacuuming, and dusting, and in some cases, personal care (assisting with bathing, toileting, and feeding).
