"Making a difference in people's lives – and the joy that brings."– Current Support Worker

If you're looking for a role where teamwork, compassion and creativity come together to make a genuine difference, we'd love to hear from you.

About the role

We're looking for enthusiastic and caring Female Support Workers to join our team in Droitwich Spa (WR9), supporting six young adults aged between 19 and 31.

The people we support live in their own self-contained apartments within a single supported living setting. They are people with Profound or Multiple Learning Disabilities (PMLD) and complex support needs.

Support is provided on a combination of individual support and shared support arrangements, with colleagues working closely together to ensure everyone receives personalised support.

This is a highly rewarding role where you'll work alongside a supportive and dedicated team to help people live full and meaningful lives.

The people we support enjoy:

• Going to college
• Cinema trips
• Bowling
• Walks in the park
• Spending time in the garden
• Computer games
• Reading comics
• Watching cartoons
• Social activities and events
• Spending time doing the things that matter to them

One person attends college four days a week, another attends three days a week, and a new gentleman attends college five days a week. One person communicates using Makaton and does not use words to communicate, so learning individual communication styles and recognising subtle signs of communication is an important part of the role.

Support includes:

• Supporting people with their personal care
• Using hoists and specialist equipment
• Supporting wheelchair users
• Supporting people with eating and drinking
• Supporting one person who is fed via PEG
• Administering medication
• Supporting people with epilepsy, including Buccal Midazolam administration following training
• Following Speech and Language Therapy guidance
• Supporting people to attend education, activities and appointments
• Supporting people to maintain relationships with family and friends
• Supporting people to do the things that matter to them

Family involvement is a significant and valued part of life for the people we support, and you'll work closely with relatives to provide consistent, high-quality support.

Shifts

• 7:00am – 3:00pm
• 3:00pm – 10:00pm
• Long days: 7:00am – 10:00pm

Rotas are provided in advance to support planning and work–life balance.

About you

• A strong team player who enjoys supporting colleagues as well as the people we support
• Positive, caring and enthusiastic
• Proactive and willing to get involved
• Someone who brings ideas and energy to the role
• Patient and willing to learn different communication styles
• Comfortable supporting people with complex needs
• Flexible and reliable
• Passionate about helping people live fulfilling lives
• Someone who values teamwork and collaboration
• Interested in working towards driving larger vehicles in the future

Experience is preferred but not essential. Full training will be provided, including specialist training in areas such as PEG support, epilepsy support, Makaton and communication approaches.

Gender Requirement: Female applicants only. Gender is considered a genuine occupational requirement due to the personal care needs of the people we support.
