Job description

Social network you want to login/join with:

Are you a naturally empathetic, caring, and compassionate Support Worker in the UK with experience caring for people with learning disabilities?

Do you want a fulfilling career where you can make a difference and change lives for the better in a culture of kindness and teamwork? Where you’ll be supported with development opportunities to grow you as a person and in your career?

Join Holkham House in Redhill, Surrey, as a Support Worker and provide care for people with learning disabilities, Autism, and behaviors which may be seen as challenging; where you’ll support and encourage them to lead a full and valued life, enabling them to live more independently.

You’ll be great with people – a real ‘people person’, able to communicate effectively – explaining yourself clearly in the right tone to suit the situation and be really good at understanding others (behaviors and expressions, as well as vocal). Having a good sense of humor and resilience, and a willingness to help residents with their personal hygiene are also important.

What you will be doing

You will join an inclusive, supportive team that works well together to provide care to people with learning disabilities and mental health conditions. Whether you have experience as a Care Assistant or Support Worker, you will use your knowledge and skills to help support people lead a valued and fulfilled life.

Working alongside a multidisciplinary team, you will use your excellent communication skills and experience as a Support Worker with a background in Learning Disabilities & Autism to provide care and support people through their care pathway.

It can be quite a challenging environment at times, so a positive attitude, compassion, resilience, and vigilance are important. But it is hugely rewarding to see people improve because of you; being able to do something today that they couldn’t do last week.

You’ll work 35 hours per week, with shifts of 7am-2.30pm and 2.30pm-10pm, with weekends on a rota basis, so flexibility is a must.

This specialist service is designed for individuals with a learning disability who require a high level of support to live within a community setting and will continue to require this long-term.

We are also experienced in managing clients moving from services where placements may have broken down or needs are no longer being met.

The aim is to encourage individuals to lead a full and valued life, enabling them to live more independently through active community engagement, developing social networks, and robust coping strategies.

The home has ten en-suite bedrooms, two lounges, and a large garden. Located in Redhill, Surrey, it offers excellent facilities and amenities nearby. Redhill has direct train access to London and Brighton, and the M25 and M23 motorways are about 3 miles away.

• Be reliable, flexible, hardworking, and honest
• Be local or within a commutable distance

You must live in the UK and have the Right to Work in the UK full time. 20-hour Student and Skilled Worker Visas cannot be accepted.

What you will get
