Support Worker - Blyth

Do you care? Care for your career by caring for others.

Lifeways – Specialist Support Services serving your local community

Are you looking for a career that transforms lives for the better? Do you have a passion to make a real impact in your local community? Lifeways offers genuine, rewarding career progression and investment in recognised qualifications. We are the UK’s largest supported living healthcare provider and have been proudly supporting communities since 1995.

The property has sixteen one-bedroom apartments, each with an open-plan kitchen and living room, and a wet room style bathroom. Sheehan Court also has an accessible garden for residents to spend time outdoors when the weather is good.

You’ll either be an enthusiastic person with plenty of patience, looking for a career change to bring new life and experiences into our service, or you’ll be an experienced Support Worker with a background in complex emotional or behavioural settings, seeking a change and wanting to be part of a team that makes a difference to people with complex needs, providing them with new opportunities both at home and in the community.

You’ll receive a fully paid induction with ongoing training and support from a dedicated Manager, along with the opportunity to undertake a qualification in health and social care funded by Lifeways Group, plus more when you join.

We work within the principles of person-centred support, enabling development and inclusion in everyday life within their home and wider community. Each service user has their own self-contained room within the service buildings. Your work will be varied, supporting with activities such as swimming, shopping, going for coffee, visiting cinemas, museums, and clubs.

You’ll support service users with general household chores like cooking, laundry, vacuuming, and dusting, as well as personal care tasks such as bathing, toileting, and feeding in some cases.
