"Making a difference in people's lives – and the joy that brings." – Current Support Worker

If you're looking for a rewarding role where teamwork, creativity and building meaningful relationships are at the heart of every day, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

About the role

We're looking for caring, proactive and enthusiastic Support Workers to join our team in Droitwich (WR9) , supporting six adults aged 19–31 with Profound or Multiple Learning Disabilities (PMLD) and complex health needs.

The people we support each have their own self-contained apartment within a shared support setting. While everyone has their own routines, interests and goals, there is a strong sense of community and teamwork throughout the home.

Support is provided on both a 1:1 basis and through shared support , depending on individual needs.

The people you support enjoy:

• Attending college and developing new skills
• Going to the cinema and bowling
• Walks in the park
• Spending time in the garden
• Computer games
• Reading comics
• Watching favourite cartoons and films
• Socialising and spending time with family and friends
• Exploring new opportunities and experiences

Support includes:

• Supporting people with their personal care
• Using hoists and specialist equipment
• Supporting wheelchair users
• Meal preparation
• Supporting people with eating and drinking
• PEG feeding support
• Administering medication
• Supporting people with epilepsy, including Buccal medication procedures
• Supporting communication, including Makaton and other individual communication methods
• Working alongside Speech and Language Therapy guidance
• Supporting people to do the things that matter to them

One gentleman communicates without words and is new to the setting. Building trust, learning his communication style and recognising additional signs of communication will be an important part of the role.

Family involvement is a key part of life here, and you'll work closely with relatives and colleagues to provide consistent, high-quality support.

Shifts

Days:

• 7:00am – 3:00pm
• 3:00pm – 10:00pm

• A strong team player who enjoys supporting colleagues
• Positive, hardworking and dependable
• Proactive and willing to bring new ideas
• Patient and observant
• Comfortable supporting people with complex health and support needs
• Someone who can recognise and respond to different communication styles
• Flexible and willing to support the wider team when needed
• Passionate about helping people achieve great outcomes
• Keen to learn specialist skills and training

Experience is preferred but not essential. Full training will be provided, including specialist health, communication and medication training.

While a driving licence is not essential, we're particularly interested in people who are working towards driving and are keen to develop their confidence driving larger mobility vehicles in the future.

Rewards that make a difference

• A competitive payrate with uplift for overtime you chose to work
• 30 days paid Annual Leave (including public holidays – pro rata)
