Job description

Since the early days, we've grown to provide many innovative and bespoke care services to thousands of people across England and Scotland. We want to provide support based on the principles of choice, dignity and respect. This resonates in our vision of 'Your Life, Your Choice' and our strategy 'Best Lives Possible'. We have strong values and we're proud to pioneer new ways of delivering social care to stand out in our sector. In the past two years, we have won or made the shortlist for over 100 national and regional awards! We are also focused on our people. Our Support Workers are dedicated and passionate about going 'the extra mile' for the people we support and in return, we go the extra mile for them by investing in pay, recognition, wellbeing and continued professional and personal development. We will provide you with all the training, support and personal protective equipment you need in your role and will help you develop, should you decide you want to develop your career with us.

Who you'll be supporting & more about the role:

This is an exciting opportunity for caring, compassionate and talented Advanced Support Workers to support one person. This is a great opening to make a real difference to the lives of others and gain great development. This is a complex mental health service - supporting one lady within her own home. She is interested in walking, shopping, meeting new people, very house proud and loves visiting Liverpool 1. She loves her family and would love to receive support in building positive relationships. At other times she likes the environment to be quiet and to have her own space.

With experience working in a health or social care setting, you will have an upbeat positive manner, as well as having a genuine passion for supporting people to become a part of their local and wider community. You will also have experience working with people supported who present behaviours that require intensive support planning and management to ensure their safety and quality of life at all times.

Other Important Information:

Shifts - 2 to 1 support during the day working 8am to 8pm. Waking Night shifts are 8pm till 8am. There would be some sleep in shifts available also, so you must be flexible and available to work across all shift patterns.

Your Values:

The ideal candidate will have a Level 3 in Social Care and strong experience in mental health, autism and sensory communication, and physical health. If you do not have a qualification, you will need to have experience in social care. You will know how to connect with people and be passionate about supporting people to live independently. You will also be a brilliant mentor and share your skills and experiences with your colleagues. We will develop your talents with a range of specialist training, including the opportunity to learn Positive Behaviour Support methods, Makaton and the Picture Exchange System. During recruitment, you will meet the people we support in their home. This will allow you to see their wonderful personalities first-hand and fully understand the level of support that they require.

Naturally, it is important too that you share our company values - We Include; We Deliver; We Aspire; We Respect; We Enable, which are at the heart of everything we do and ensure that we deliver high quality, consistent care and support. People's values are important to us, so we look for people with:

• Patience

• A strong work ethic
• Reliability
• Honesty
• Determination
• A problem solver
• Resilience
