If this sounds like you, maybe a Support Worker role with an award-winning charity is the change you’ve been looking for!

At our Gateshead service, we support one gentleman in his own home to live the best life possible by providing person-centred support to promote his independence. He would like to be supported by a male member of staff.

The gentleman we support loves music and his perfect team member will support him to go to gigs, go to the theatre, go to discos, share a love of new music with him and help him get the most out of life. He is very proud of having his own home, so would like someone to help him keep it in good shape and support him with everyday activities, such as personal care, medication administration, financial planning, attending community groups, preparing meals and attending other social activities.

Due to the needs of the person supported, experience in supporting individuals with schizophrenia is essential.

We are looking for a flexible and reliable person to join his team, who is keen to support him to build his independent living skills and ensure he is heard and supported to make his own choices.

We provide support from Monday - Sunday and are currently recruiting for a 37.5 hour post to work a varied shift pattern. This role will include some sleepovers.

Sometimes the people we support really need a male or female person to support them. For this particular role, a male colleague is required. This is a genuine occupational requirement as defined by the Equality Act 2010

We know it takes a special person to work in social care and we recognise that not everyone that would be perfect for the role, will have professional experience. This is why we're really passionate about recruiting to individuals’ values and we recruit people from all walks of life; From people with vast experience in a support worker or care assistant role, from people with lived experiences who may have friends or relatives with disabilities or have looked after older relatives, to people with no experience at all.

Naturally It Is Important Too That You Share Our Company Values - We Include; We Deliver; We Aspire; We Respect; We Enable, Which Are At The Heart Of Everything We Do And Ensure That We Deliver High Quality, Consistent Care And Support. People's Values Are Important To Use, So We Look For People With

• Patience
• Empathy, compassion and sensitivity to others
• A strong work ethic
• Reliability
• Honesty
• Determination
