About The Role
We are looking for Bank Support Workers to join our small dedicated team at the weekends, working in our house in Fetcham.
Our house in Fetcham accommodates 4 people, with varying levels of support needs. It’s an energetic and fun household and the
group love being busy and out and about.
We have a need for bank workers at the moment, but there is the opportunity for this to turn into a part time permanent contract.
You will have a varied role, sometimes working as part of the small team, sometimes providing one-to-one support, and other times
working on your own supporting the 4 residents in the house.
By joining The Grange as a Support Worker, you’ll instantly become part of our dedicated community, our ethos is Person Centred
Care and Support and you’ll see and feel this at every level. We are proud that we do not rely heavily on agency staff, so you’ll
get to know your colleagues and the people we support quickly.
As a Support Worker you’ll need to have natural empathy, great people skills and a positive approach, ensuring that everyone is
treated with dignity and respect and that we meet their needs and aspirations.
After full induction and training, you’ll help the small group make informed choices regarding all aspects of healthy living and
wellbeing including physical activity, social and community opportunities, support with appointments, work/volunteering placements
and occasionally support on trips or holidays. You’ll also provide support and encouragement when it comes to domestic activities
such a laundry, shopping, food preparation and with medication after training. There’s a huge emphasis on team work and you’ll
play an important part in a busy committed team of Support Workers, working in partnership with Senior Support Workers, Team
Leaders and Positive Behaviour Champions to ensure we continue to achieve our high standards of Person Centred care and support.
You will be supported by a welcoming team and provided with an extensive training programme to help you develop your skills and
knowledge.
If you move to become part of the permanent team, we are happy to support people who wish to develop their careers through
studying apprenticeships in Level 2 or 3 Adult Social Care and regularly have promotion opportunities for those who want to become
Senior Support Workers or Shift Lead.
We welcome applications from any background, you do not have to have prior experience, as long as you share our values of:
Friendly, Open, Respectful, Caring and Enabling.
We know the care industry can be tough, but The Grange brings so much joy to not only the people we support but also to the staff
team and wider community too.
