My client, an award-winning care and support organisation, is seeking to appoint a Specialist Support Worker to join their team, based in East Cornwall near Dobwalls.
Applicants must be either trained in physical restraint or able to join one of the group’s ARC courses (these run approximately 8 weekly from either Redruth or Liskeard). A driving license is preferred.
They operate a 12.25-hour shift pattern:
1. 08:45-21:00 Day shifts
2. 20:45-09:00 Waking night shifts
3. Between 18:00 and 21:00 start to 09:00 for Sleeping night shifts
We are looking to offer the right candidate 24-36 hours per week at a rate of £13-15 an hour, paid weekly through the agency. There is also an opportunity to go permanent with the company after 12 consecutive weeks.
We are building a team to provide support for a person living alone in their home in Dobwalls. We support this person seven days a week with shifts allocated on a rota basis. To build a relationship with our service user, working one or two shifts a week is essential.
The service user has a learning disability and Autism, with a pervasive drive for autonomy. Her team needs to be skilled communicators who help her manage her epilepsy and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome on both busy and quieter days. Occasionally, she may experience episodes of distress, and her team needs to help her feel safe with physical intervention. This process can be physically demanding, so we encourage applicants who may find this challenging to contact us prior to application.
We believe that experience is not necessary, but the right attitude and willingness to learn are crucial. A driving license and willingness to drive a Motability vehicle are essential.
In return, we offer:
* Training and supervision in Trauma-Informed Care, Autism, and Positive Behaviour Support
* Competitive rate per hour, paid weekly
* Opportunity to go permanent after 12 consecutive weeks
* Funding and mentoring through nationally recognised qualifications
* Good opportunities for progression
* Generous paid holiday (with your birthday off)
* Overtime over contracted hours
This is an immediate start for the right candidate. To find out more, please send your CV in the first instance.
