We’re recruiting!
Join us as a Learning Disability Support Worker and create a future where learning disabled people live the best life possible.
We know that life can be complicated for everybody. But some of us are stopped from working towards our dreams. Many learning disabled people won’t be heard about the support they’d like. Some won’t get to decide what they do for work or how to spend or save their money. Many won't get to try out the new hobbies they’d love to try.
But you can change all that.
Join our growing team in Harwell, Oxfordshire, and get all the training you need to become a confident Support Worker.
Do you feel like our values - Kind, Diverse, Positive and Visionary - are a good match to your values? Then we’ve got lots in common already. Come on board and support learning disabled adults with those very values to develop skills, achieve their life goals and thrive in your community.
What we offer you:
* Where you’ll be working: Harwell, Oxfordshire.
* Your salary: £11.44 per hour, rising to £11.74 per hour from 1st October 2024.
* Your working hours: A mixture of early, late and overnight shifts, including some weekends. If you are interested in ‘Sleep ins’ we will pay you £54 per shift plus over 12% holiday pay.
* Generous Holidays: 33 days of annual leave (including eight days statutory bank holidays).
* Pay incentives: 10% overtime allowance, 20% Bank Holiday allowance, 50% for key dates over Christmas.
* Training & development: Earn money while you get a fully funded Level 2 Diploma in Health & Social Care.
* Lots of benefits: Health, retail and cash incentives to use how you want.
What you’ll be doing:
The people we support have complex needs, and you will be expected to assist in the following:
* Manual Handling – Supporting with hoists and wheelchairs.
* Full + Intimate Personal Care – Assisting people in using the toilet, bathing, and dressing.
* Supporting people with late stage Dementia diagnoses, people with Epilepsy, and those with high physical and sensory needs. You will also be supporting individuals with Dysphagia and physical impairments.
* Supporting people in eating and drinking, all aspects of home security, finances, housekeeping, and any healthcare needs, including medication administration.
* Supporting people to go out into the community, including searching for and creating fun activities, using public transport and cars for travel, and walking to planned events.
The support you provide may vary depending on the needs of the individuals. We are looking for staff committed to working shifts that may be both physically and mentally challenging due to the complex needs of the people you will be supporting.
Public transport to our service is limited; therefore, a valid driving licence and access to a vehicle is desirable.
We can’t wait to meet you at our Oxfordshire services!
