At One Fylde we like to view our Support Workers more as "life coaches" who provide guidance to the people we support, as well as having the tools and knowledge to handle bills, support to increase self-esteem, act as an agony aunt, a chef when helping with cooking, and a tour guide when travelling abroad!
Our focus is to support people to live as independently as possible, maintain their home environment, and manage their health, finances, social activities, hobbies, and interests. This could involve supporting someone to manage their weekly shop, visit friends and family, or even go on holiday.
Not every day is the same in supported living; you must be adaptable to the people you are supporting and punctual with your time management. Most of our support revolves around helping individuals access the community, whether this is supporting someone swimming, going to the cinema, playing golf, or attending Slimming World.
Are you compassionate and patient? Do you have strong communication skills and love working with people? Do you have the ability to work flexibly, including evenings and weekends? Are you a team player?
For those of you who have not done support work before, full training will be given. In fact, we offer full and wide-ranging training opportunities for all in a charity that encourages personal development.
Key Responsibilities:
1. Maintaining a quality service.
2. Ensuring that the people we support have a safe, appropriate, and comfortable living environment.
3. Communicating effectively with both internal and external stakeholders, including families and social services.
4. Following support plans and other relevant information regarding how to assist the people we support, including Health and Safety requirements.
5. Advocating for the rights and needs of the people we support.
