Lifeways – Specialist Support Services serving your local community
Are you looking for a career that transforms lives for the better? Do you have a passion to make a real impact in your local community? Lifeways offers genuine, rewarding career progression and investment in recognised qualifications. We are the UK’s largest supported living healthcare provider and have been proudly supporting communities since 1995.
The property has sixteen one-bedroom apartments, each with an open-plan kitchen and living room, and a wet room style bathroom. Sheehan Court also has an accessible garden for people to spend time outdoors when the weather is good.
You’ll either be an enthusiastic person with plenty of patience looking for a career change to bring new life and experiences into our service or you’ll be an experienced Support Worker with a background in complex emotional or behavioural settings looking for a change and wanting to be part of a team that will make a difference to people with complex needs to give them new opportunities in their life both at home and in the community.
You’ll get a fully paid induction with ongoing training and support from a dedicated Manager plus the opportunity to undertake a qualification in health and social care funded by Lifeways Group plus so much more when you join.
We work within the principles of person-centred support, enabling development and inclusion in their everyday lives within their home and wider community. Each service user has their own self-contained room within the service buildings and your work will be varied as you’ll be supporting with all sorts of activities including swimming, shopping, going for a coffee, going to the cinema, visiting museums and clubs.
You’ll be supporting the service user with general household chores such as cooking, laundry, vacuuming, and dusting and in some cases personal care (assisting with bathing, toileting, and feeding).
