We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated Health Support Worker to join our fantastic team within one of our residential homes.

We provide residential care for young adults 16+ who are either profoundly deaf, have significant hearing loss and/or complex needs.

Residents who are deaf or hard of hearing often cope with communication difficulties in everyday life situations. Where there is deafness, challenges exist for both the resident and the support worker.

You will overcome this with training, support and supervision that The Cambian Group will provide.

Duties:

• No two days will be the same
• You will be responsible for providing support and care to each individual which includes such things as travel with the residents (use of the company car), care planning, meal planning, organising and facilitating social activities and maintaining the home.
• You should be comfortable liaising with parents and professionals.

New staff must be comfortable using an electronic care recording system on a daily basis to document, monitor, and update children and young people’s records accurately. Experience with Clearcare is an advantage, but not essential, as full training will be provided. However, all staff are expected to confidently use digital systems as part of their day-to-day role.

• Working on a rota basis - you will receive a monthly rota
• This is a 365 day a year job, including Christmas, new year and all the fun holidays but it is even more fun when you celebrate with the children!
• Refer a friend payment scheme
• Enrolled on to a work place pension scheme after three months of employment
• Progression within the company
• Fully paid 10-day induction course
• Enhanced DBS, paid for by Cambian Group
