Are you a caring, motivated, and kind person who like to think on your feet?

Looking to join a Trust who will invest in your future and help you thrive in your career?

Want to develop and learn new skills whilst making a difference?

A great opportunity has arisen for a Clinical Support Worker to join an experienced team at Greenways Assessment & Treatment Unit in Macclesfield, Cheshire which has been rated Outstanding by CQC (Care Quality Commission).

Greenways is a purpose built 12 bedded unit which caters for adult patients who have a learning disability. The Clinical Support Worker (CSW) will be part of the staff team responsible for assisting in the physical and psychological care to patients.

If you are a committed and compassionate person who gets a buzz from helping others, and you’re interested in starting a career within the NHS, our CSW role could be the perfect fit for you.

The role will be challenging at times but also incredibly rewarding. If you’re ambitious and interested in career development, we will support you to grow, including access to a range of paid training courses. Many of our nurses and clinical leaders began their NHS careers as CSWs and were supported by the Trust to progress.

Our CSWs are such an important and valued part of our workforce here at CWP. One thing all our CSWs have in common is that they champion our values every day, in everything they do: Care; Compassion; Commitment; Courage; Communication; and Competence.

You will be working with adults with learning disabilities as part of an enthusiastic and supportive team. Admissions are short term for people with learning disabilities and complex needs requiring a period of intensive assessment, treatment and or therapy within an inpatient unit.

The ideal candidate will have excellent communication skills and be able to build relationships with both colleagues and patients. Ideally you will have experience in a care setting with learning disabilities. As the ward is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, the 11.5 hour shifts will include both days and nights (Days 07:30-20:00 and Nights 19:30-08:00)
