Job description

About the role

Our Supported Living Service in Shipley is home to 9 young adults with Learning Disabilities. The people we support have community based activities they take part in. They enjoy and would need support from staff to be able to access swimming, going to the cinema and the theatre to watch plays and films and also to engage in meaningful employment (volunteer or paid). They have a good sense of humour and would benefit from upbeat/chatty personalities.

The role may include manual handling, medication administration, personal care, food preparation, household tasks, supporting individuals to stay connected with family and friends, accessing the community, and attending appointments. We provide support for daily living skills and help support with socialisation. We recognise each person as an individual and provide a unique service which is person-centred and tailored to their needs.

The role is to promote the individual's independence, choice, dignity, and respect by delivering the best standards of support.

Shifts: various hours and alternate weekends. Full time. At this present time, we are unable to consider Sponsorship for this role. Ideally the successful person would have a qualification in health and social care (but this is not essential) or will have worked either in supported living settings and/or with individuals with Learning Disabilities.
