Brigg, North Lincolnshire, United Kingdom

At Achieve together, we strive to support and inspire the people we care for in order to give them the resources, skills and confidence to live their lives independently, and to the fullest.
With us, you'll embark on a career adventure like no other, with dedicated training opportunities along the way to develop your skills and forge a long-lasting career in social care.
Our team members are our most valuable asset. Without them, we simply wouldn't be who we are today. We're always on the hunt for hard-working, passionate people who want to make a difference and help others – so what are you waiting for?

Job Description

A career adventure with Achieve together provides the perfect opportunity to make a real difference. We are looking for team members who are passionate about delivering excellent care and support, celebrating achievements, and encouraging fun and creativity. Become a Support Worker with us and let's shape lives. This is more than just a job – you'll be helping the people we support gain independence and live healthy, happy and fulfilling lives.

Key Responsibilities

Enhancing and enriching quality of life for the people we support, enabling them to keep moving towards agreed goals and life skills in line with their individual activity planner.

Maintaining the general health, wellbeing and emotional needs of the people we support, including a high standard of personal care, attending health appointments and administering medication in line with company policies.

Complying with all health and safety requirements, safeguarding policies and best practice, and reporting any concerns around safety and safeguarding immediately.

Encouraging the people we support to access a range of opportunities and experiences, maximising their inclusion and participation in the community according to their needs, wishes and preferences.

As a Support Worker, you'll ensure that the people we support are able to live their lives independently and engage in daily enrichment activities, while receiving focused, tailored support where needed.
