Job Overview
Would you like to gain experience or increase your existing knowledge and practice of working with adults with a learning disability and mental health needs?
We are looking for support workers to join our small, friendly existing team working at one of our 24-hour supported living services for seven adults who each live in a one-bedroom furnished flat in the beautiful, conservation area of Stanwix in Carlisle (the project is easily accessible on public transport). You will provide positive support to individuals to enable them to participate in community activities. You will also work with and develop a personal support plan that addresses individual specific needs, helping service users to develop domestic, financial, and emotional management and achieve greater independence and self-esteem. You will actively liaise with statutory, voluntary agencies and advocates/family members.

2. Develop personal support plans addressing individual needs.

You will have a keen insight into the challenges that our clients face on a daily basis and awareness of the delivery of supported living care. Prior support-related experience is advantageous; however, Creative Support will provide a full training package, including the Diploma in Health and Social Care Level 2 qualification.
