Job description

We're looking for... Support Workers.

Ready for a role where every day is different, where you can make a genuine difference, and where no two people are the same?

Careline Lifestyles is looking for caring, resilient and enthusiastic Support Workers to join our team at Orchard View, Fawdon.

Please note: this role involves supporting adults who may display behaviours that challenge and is not primarily an elderly care position. Experience working with complex needs is advantageous, but full training will be provided.

We're a family-run business, established for over 30 years, with 11 specialist Care Homes across the North East of England. We specialise in supporting adults aged 18+ with a range of complex needs, and our focus is always on helping the people we support to live meaningful, fulfilling and as independent a life as possible.

Our services support individuals with a range of needs, including:

• Learning disabilities
• Autism
• Mental health needs
• Acquired brain injuries
• Complex physical needs
• Behaviours that may challenge

This isn't traditional elderly care. It's about people, possibilities and making a difference every single day.

The Role

Location: Fawdon, Newcastle, NE3 2RU

Salary: £13.04 per hour

Hours: Full-Time Available

Job Type: Permanent

As a Support Worker, you'll provide person-centred support to the people living at Wilkinson Park, helping them to develop their independence, achieve their goals and enjoy everyday life.

No two days are the same. You could be supporting someone with their daily routine, helping them access the community, encouraging them to take part in activities, or simply being there to provide reassurance and support when they need it.

Your role may include:

• Providing person-centred support in line with individual care plans
• Supporting with daily living activities and personal care where required
• Promoting independence, choice, dignity and inclusion
• Building positive and trusting relationships
• Supporting individuals who may display behaviours that challenge
• Encouraging participation in activities and community engagement
• Supporting individuals to develop life skills and confidence
• Maintaining accurate records and documentation
• Working positively with colleagues, families and other professionals

What We're Looking For

You don't need years of experience to join us. What matters most is your attitude, compassion and willingness to learn.

We're looking for people who are:

• Caring, patient and empathetic
• Resilient and able to remain calm in challenging situations
• Reliable, responsible and committed
• Confident communicating with others
• Positive and willing to get involved
• Respectful of individual choices, dignity and independence
• Comfortable working as part of a team
• Experienced in care or support work (desirable, but not essential)

Full training will be provided, including our comprehensive induction programme, so if you're passionate about supporting people and think you'd be a great fit, we'd love to hear from you.

What We Offer

When you join Careline Lifestyles, you'll receive:

• 7-day fully paid induction programme through Careline Academy
• Ongoing training and development
• Career progression opportunities
• Supportive management and team environment
• 24-hour Employee Assistance Programme
• Permanent contract
• Paid holiday leave
• Company pension scheme
• Refer a Friend programme
• Free onsite parking
• The opportunity to make a genuine difference every day

Ready to Make a Difference?

At Careline Lifestyles, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to live a meaningful and fulfilling life.

If you're caring, resilient, enthusiastic and ready for a rewarding career where every day is different, we'd love to hear from you.
