Job description

Join to apply for the Waking Night Support Worker role at Mountain Financial Printing & Design Group.

We are looking for respectful, warm, and energetic individuals to work waking nights at our Blackburn service, which provides person-centred support to individuals with learning disabilities and complex needs. Some of the people we support can demonstrate behaviour which is challenging, and some have complex physical support needs, but you will be supported and trained in how to assist them.

We need people who have a real interest in the social care sector and are seeking to work in services which hold person-centred values. You will be part of a team and receive supervision throughout the probationary process to ensure you have the knowledge and skills needed. As well as providing direct care and support, you will have the opportunity to act as a Key Worker supporting people to achieve their dreams and ambitions.

Waking Night Support Worker Duties Include:

• Developing and sustaining warm and trusting relationships with service users.
• Carrying out general administrative duties and housing management tasks.
• Administering medication.
• Providing personal care.
• Communicating and building relationships with service users' family, support network, and involved professionals.

Although we value relevant experience of supporting people with mental health needs, you do not need to have prior experience if you can demonstrate a 'can-do approach', person-centred values, energy, and commitment. You will have a strong work ethic and duty of care and be able to contribute to a positive team approach. We provide full training so you can develop in your role.
