Brookbank Complex Needs Day Service - Stratford-upon-Avon
Support Worker - Brookbank Complex Needs Community Services
Here at Heart of England Mencap, we enable people with learning disabilities to lead fulfilling lives allowing them to thrive and do, be, and feel their best! We know that we can only achieve this by hiring the best staff who share our values and are committed to ensuring our individuals have the best day possible.
Due to organisational growth, we are looking for Support Workers who share our vision to join an enthusiastic team at our Complex Needs Day Service in Stratford Upon Avon. You may need to travel to our other services from time to time to support absence.
The hours are 9 am – 4 pm four days a week and 9 am – 5 pm one day a week. There is an opportunity to work a longer day and some Saturdays. You will support customers on a 1:1, 2:1, or 3:1 basis to access the community and participate in activities they enjoy; this could include swimming, gym, working at a farm, tennis, and riding accessible bikes. In the centre, you will support customers in a variety of sessions which may include cooking, music, art, sensory storytelling, as well as supporting with daily needs which will include assisting with personal care, eating and drinking, and postural care.
We have an extensive training programme in place to ensure that staff are supported to feel confident within their role. But most of all, we offer fun and laughter throughout the day as well as being part of a fantastic and supportive team!
Some of our customers can display distressed behaviour, but a full shadowing induction is given, and training is provided.
Some previous care experience is preferred; however, full training will be provided - after all, good care comes from the HEART.
Alongside being part of something amazing, our employee benefits include:
1. Extensive training and development – we will support with health and social care diplomas together with the care certificate
2. 25 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays
3. Access to 24-hour Employee Assistance Scheme and trained mental health first aiders
4. Discount card for high street and online retailers
5. Employee ‘Refer a Friend’ scheme
6. Long service awards
7. Sick pay
8. Staff recognition awards

If you want to really make a difference every day and share our values: Honest, Effective, Aspirational, Respectful, Trustworthy, why not apply today!
