The role

As a Support Worker, you will provide person-centred support that helps individuals live as independently, safely and confidently as possible.

The exact focus will vary by service:

Lessingham Road supports individuals with physical health needs, including epilepsy, Parkinson’s and dysphagia.

Dalwood Close supports individuals with learning disabilities, mental health needs and behaviours that may challenge.

Starling Close provides similar support, with a strong focus on one-to-one care, clear documentation and medication administration.

Your responsibilities may include:

Supporting individuals with daily living activities
Promoting independence, choice and dignity
Building trusting and positive relationships
Supporting people to access the community
Helping individuals manage their health and wellbeing
Supporting with medication in line with training and procedures
Maintaining clear and accurate records
Following safeguarding, health and safety and support plans
Working closely with colleagues, families and other professionals
Providing consistent support during day or waking night shifts
About you

We are looking for kind, reliable and resilient people who genuinely want to support others.

For roles at Starling Close and Dalwood Close, at least six months’ experience in care or support would be preferred because of the complex needs and behaviours involved.

For Lessingham Road, at least six months experience in care or support ideally in supporting physical health needs.

A Care Certificate would be an advantage, but it is not essential because this can be completed as part of your training.

You should also have:

A caring and respectful approach
Good communication skills
The ability to remain calm in challenging situations
Reliability and a strong work ethic
The confidence to work independently and as part of a team
The ability to complete clear and accurate records
The ability to reliably travel to the service for 8am or 8pm shift starts
