Job Advert Role Description

We are currently looking to grow our already established and dedicated team of support workers / care assistants at Fern Lodge in Chester, part of Priory Adult Care.

• Do you believe that everyone is entitled to the very best care and support?
• Do you want to make a lasting difference in people’s lives?
• Do you want to support people to help them achieve their goals, dreams and aspirations?

We do, and we are passionate about providing excellent care and support to individuals with learning disabilities, autism, Prader-Willi Syndrome, or mental health conditions. As a support worker, you will have the opportunity to be part of thousands of stories of inspiring care and support for our residents.

As a support worker, you will support our residents with their daily lives, encouraging them to live as independently as possible. You may also participate in activities outside the home, such as day trips, charity events, and more!

Our ideal support worker will:

• Be reliable, friendly, and caring to help our service users achieve their daily goals (including personal care)
• Support in-house activities and hobbies
• Be attentive and inspire our service users to achieve more!
• Be resilient and help manage some challenging behaviors

Drivers are able to take residents out and about, but you don’t need to be a driver to work here – we employ many non-drivers too!

What we’ll give you:

• A rewarding job, full of variety and opportunities for career development
• Ongoing training to help you achieve more
• Support from an experienced and friendly team of colleagues
• A range of salary sacrifice benefits, cashback rewards, pension options, and more!
• Access to our Career Pathways, which will help shape your career with us – you can work towards goals and milestones that will take your career in whichever direction you wish

Please call Fern Lodge on 01244 372 288 if you’d like an informal discussion.
