Support Worker - Didcot

FitzRoy are recruiting Support Workers to join our service in Didcot. We provide support to residents with learning & physical disabilities in their own homes and in the community.

You will be providing valuable support to our learning disability and mental health services.

• Full time - various hours available between 0700 and 2200

A support worker’s day is varied & flexibility is required. The people we support live independent lives and as such the support we provide is individually tailored to their needs. Duties may include enabling them to take part in a range of interests & activities that support a healthy, well balanced & fulfilling lifestyle, as well as support & encouragement with personal care.

We are keen to find people who share our values and exhibit behaviours & attitudes that match our own! You don’t need experience in care, nor do we require qualifications - we will invest in your development & training to become an exceptional care worker.

We see the person – encourage choice & respect the opinions, beliefs & dignity of others. Treat people as equals, be thoughtful, discreet & maintain confidentiality.

We are creative - encourage & support everyone to reach their goals, think of solutions to problems & actively involve people in every aspect of their lives.

We are brave - Be positive, embrace new ideas, experiences & challenges. Be genuine, honest & a voice for others.

All the relevant skills, qualifications and experience that a successful applicant will need are listed in the following description.

FitzRoy is a national charity, set up 60 years ago by brave parents as a pioneering alternative to institutional care. Their values remain the values of FitzRoy today – we see the person, we are brave and we are creative – and they thread through everything we do.

We support hundreds of people with a range of needs. You could be supporting someone with learning disabilities, autism, acquired brain injuries or mental health support needs. Many of the people we support also have physical impairments or other health issues. Working for us will give you an opportunity to learn, to grow and to transform lives. Join us today.
