About the Role

Standon Gardens Extra Care is looking for caring, reliable and hardworking individuals to join our dedicated Support Worker / Carer team.

In this rewarding role, you will primarily support people who live in their own apartments on site, providing personalised care and assistance while promoting independence, dignity and choice.

One of the benefits of this role is having one place of work for your entire shift, meaning there is no travelling between clients.

Standon is a forward-thinking and innovative local care provider, supporting people both in their own homes and in residential care. We are committed to providing high-quality, person-centred care in a safe and supportive environment, enabling the people we support to live as independently as possible while respecting their individual wishes.

The role offers a varied working pattern, so you will need to be able to work a range of shifts, with some starting as early as 7:00am and others finishing as late as 10:00pm. This may include weekends and bank holidays.

What We’re Looking For

We're looking for people who are:

• Compassionate - putting the people we care for at the heart of everything you do.
• Hardworking and committed - approaching your role with energy, enthusiasm and dedication.
• A team player - able to work confidently both independently and as part of a team.
• Trustworthy and reliable - dependable, punctual and consistent in your approach.
• Flexible - willing to work a fair share of mornings, afternoons, weekends and bank holidays, as well as occasionally picking up additional hours when required.
• Resilient - understanding that care work can be incredibly rewarding but can also be challenging at times.
• A good communicator - confident communicating with the people we support, their families and colleagues, with good written and verbal communication skills.
• Experienced in care - previous experience in a caring role is preferred, although full training and support will be provided.

Your Responsibilities

As a Support Worker / Carer, you will help provide high-quality, person-centred support, including:

• Providing compassionate care and support, ensuring the comfort, dignity and safety of the people we support.
• Assisting with day-to-day living, including meal preparation, personal hygiene, cleaning and other household tasks.
• Supporting with medication, in accordance with individual care plans, training and company procedures.
• Maintaining accurate care records, care plans and documentation, while following health and safety requirements.
• Building positive relationships with the people we support, their families and other professionals involved in their care.
• Supporting individuals living with Alzheimer's and dementia, including responding appropriately to behaviours and providing meaningful and engaging activities.
• Encouraging independence and supporting people to make their own choices wherever possible.
• Taking part in ongoing training and development, including opportunities to work towards nationally recognised qualifications.
