Job description

Social network you want to login/join with:

Do you have a passion for care? Do you want to help people with mild learning disabilities live independently and happily?

We are looking for Support Workers, who can drive to join our community service in Stratford upon Avon, where you will be supporting six males and females in their own home. Each person has different likes and hobbies, such as art, music, dancing, visiting the seaside, and feeding animals. You will be responsible for providing personal care, medication, daily living skills, and activities to the people you support. You will also be part of a great team that will help you achieve your true potential.

Drivers required due to location and driving service users into the community.

Don’t just take our word for it, here are some testimonials from the people we support and their families:

• “I have always enjoyed living at Lucy Glyn because I am treated like a celebrity. I enjoy every moment at LG, especially my artwork and canvases and visiting the seaside and national trusts.”
• “I liked the holiday with my housemate. I like disco and games night, Saturday focus activity and watching a DVD all together.”
• “I do the things I enjoy at Lucy Glyn like getting my hair cut, going for drives, listening to music and dancing.”
• like going out with other clients. Today we went to Hatton Country World and had lunch and went into the animals. We fed the animals, but the goat took the whole lot! There were some baby pigs all piled on top of each other and there was a little one.”

We welcome applicants who have never worked in care before, as we will provide full training, working towards Care Certificate, and other courses such as Learning disability awareness, autism awareness, and mental health awareness.
