At Swindon Borough Council, we want our town to be the best it can be. Our ambitious vision in the new Swindon Plan is supported by realistic transformation programmes, with the people of Swindon at their heart. Join us, and Swindon will be better with you.
Job Opportunity:
Exciting opportunity has arisen for a Support Worker to join Swindon Family Breaks respite service in Swindon. The right candidate will join a specialist team responsible for supporting people with learning disabilities with all aspects of their daily lives, including personal care, medications, household tasks, shopping, cooking, laundry, and leisure activities.
Your next role:
As a Support Worker, you will provide continuous assessment of service users’ needs and monitor the aims, objectives, and outcomes of the Support/Care Plan along with the ability to accurately complete forms and maintain records. This is a varied role within a friendly and supportive team, providing opportunities for a variety of training. Successful applicants will be required to attend an induction programme as well as in-house, online, and bespoke training.
You will have excellent communication and interpersonal skills, a friendly approach, and the ability to work in an ever-changing environment. Experience of working in the community or care home with people with learning disabilities is desirable.
We operate with a mixture of shift patterns including “earlies” from 7:00 am to 3:00 pm and “lates” from 2:00 pm to 10:00 pm on a rolling 2-week rota with a requirement to work every other weekend, to meet the needs of the service.
You must be fluent in the English language (as a requirement of Part 7 of the Immigration Act “for the effective performance of a customer-facing role”).
We offer free parking on site, generous holiday entitlement, comprehensive Learning and Development programmes, an excellent local government pension and sickness schemes, and many other benefits like discounts on shopping, eating out, and entertainment.
