Job description
Overview

Are you a naturally empathetic, caring and compassionate Support Worker in the UK with experience of 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? You’ll be supported with development opportunities to grow you as a person and in your career.

What you will be doing

Join Walcott House as a Support Worker and provide care for people with severe learning disabilities, Autism and behaviours that may be challenging; 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 (behaviours and expressions, as well as vocal).

Having a good sense of humour, resilience and a willingness to help residents with their personal hygiene are also important.

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 a challenging environment at times, so a positive attitude, compassion, resilience and vigilance are important. 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 night shifts, on rota, 9pm – 7:30am, 3 shifts on and 3 shifts off. Permanent, 36.75 weekly hours, full-time contract.

Location

Location: 12 Annandale Avenue, Bognor Regis, West Sussex PO21 2EU

You will be working at Walcott House, a Learning Disability and Autism service which provides a specialist residential service for men and women with a range of learning disabilities, including autism and sensory and communication impairments.

You will work alongside the multidisciplinary team to provide care and support to individuals with a learning disability who require a high level of support to live within a community setting and will continue to require this longer term. Service users may be transitioning from children’s residential services, education, moving out of the family home. We are also experienced in successfully managing clients moving from services where their placements may have broken down or where their needs are no longer being met.

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

Requirements

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

What you will get
  • Annual salary of £24,556 (£12.85 hourly rate)
  • The equivalent of 33 days annual leave (inc Bank Holidays) – plus your birthday off!
  • Free meals and parking
  • Wellbeing support and activities to help you maintain a great work-life balance.
  • Career development and training to help you achieve your career goals.
  • Pension contribution to secure your future.
  • Life Assurance for added peace of mind.
  • Enhanced Maternity Package so you can truly enjoy this special time.

There is also a range of other benefits including retail discounts, special offers and much more.
