Job description

Female Support Worker

Full time and Part time Vacancy, Flexibility is needed as you will be asked to do waking night shifts.

Location: Cannock

We are unable to consider skilled or student visa applicants for this opening.

CareTech is a person-centred care company that provides quality care to adults. We enable young people and adults with complex needs to make their own life choices and to develop confidence and independence to live, learn, thrive, and engage, building a better future.

We refer to this as Extraordinary Days, Every Day.

Our service consists of 11 flats located in the heart of Cannock. We support adults with mental health illnesses and want people to live as independently as possible. To continue to offer that outstanding level of support, we need people like you to join us and help to improve the lives of our service users. You will be responsible for enriching people’s lives, enjoy having a positive impact on their wellbeing, and take pride in knowing you are a part of something bigger.

Being a support worker is very rewarding but also hard and challenging at times. Support workers need to be able to understand that not every day is going to be sunshine and smiles. Being able to watch and support the individuals at Beecroft makes those hard days a lot easier. Seeing people be able to live independently and thrive in life is a reward in itself. No two days are the same; you will face and overcome many challenges, but the rewards are priceless.
