Are you a support worker looking for a new challenge? Can you communicate using British Sign Language (BSL)? If not, do you have a willingness to learn?
We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated Residential Support Worker to join our fantastic team within one of our residential homes based in Halifax / Doncaster. We provide residential care for young adults between the ages of 16+ who are either profoundly deaf, have significant hearing loss and/or complex needs.
Residents who are deaf or hard of hearing often cope with communication difficulties in everyday life situations. Where there is deafness, challenges exist for both the resident and the support worker. You will overcome this with training, support, and supervision that The Cambian Group will provide.
Duties:
1. Providing support and care to each individual.
2. Travel with the residents (use of the company car).
3. Care planning and meal planning.
4. Organising and facilitating social activities.
5. Maintaining the home.
You will be comfortable liaising with parents and professionals.
Who are we?
We are the Cambian group, the largest independent provider of care and education for children and young people. We believe that everyone has a personal best. Those we care for and those who care for them.
Requirements for DBS and reference checking will be undertaken in line with government regulations and safer recruitment best practice. While we endeavour to keep the recruitment process as short as possible due to the nature of these important checks, it may extend the processing time.
The Cambian Group is an equal opportunities employer.
