We’re looking for a full‑time Support Worker to join our wonderful team here at The Grange Centre supporting adults with learning disabilities.
About The Role
By joining The Grange as a Support Worker, you’ll instantly become part of our dedicated community, our ethos is person centred care and support and you’ll see and feel this at every level. We are proud that we do not rely heavily on agency staff, so you’ll get to know your colleagues and the people we support quickly.
As a Support Worker you’ll need to have natural empathy, great people skills and a positive approach, ensuring that everyone is treated with dignity and respect and that we meet their needs and aspirations.
After full induction and training, you’ll act as a key worker to named individuals, supporting with personal and basic care needs, helping them make informed choices regarding all aspects of healthy living and wellbeing including physical activity, social and community opportunities, support with appointments, work/volunteering placements and occasional support on trips. You’ll also provide support with domestic activities such a laundry, shopping, food preparation and with medication after training.
There’s a huge emphasis on team work and you’ll play an important part in a busy committed team of Support Workers, working in partnership with Senior Support Workers, Deputy Support Services Managers, and Positive Behaviour Champions to ensure we continue to achieve our high standards of person‑centred care and support.
You’ll be supported by a welcoming team and provided with an extensive training programme to help you develop your skills and knowledge. We are happy to support people who wish to develop their careers through studying apprenticeships in Level 2 or 3 Adult Social Care and regularly have promotion opportunities for those who want to become Senior Support Workers or Shift Lead.
Previous experience supporting individuals with challenging behaviour and/or autism is desirable but not essential. We welcome applications from any background. It is not essential to have prior experience, as long as you share our values of: Friendly, Open, Respectful, Caring and Enabling.
We know the care industry can be tough, but The Grange brings so much joy to not only the people we support but also to the staff team and wider community too.
