Your Role

Through understanding the needs of the people you support, you’ll provide exceptional care that truly changes lives. A career with meaning, you’ll also have a lot of fun, too – from helping with daily tasks to amazing trips that make dreams come true.

• Help the people we support to engage in meaningful opportunities and activities – empowering them to enjoy a great life filled with amazing experiences.
• Get involved in the community, support during leisure and social activities, and celebrate special occasions.
• Lead the team to communicate appropriately, considering individual communication needs, and helping people to communicate effectively with others, too.
• Engage in learning and development opportunities for the team ensuring that training compliance levels are met and maintained.

Your Service

Whiteheathers is a friendly, warm bungalow in a quiet coastal town. Everyone who lives here has their own private space to make their own and are encouraged to get involved in making decisions about their home; how communal areas can be transformed into fun new spaces, what’s on the meal plan each week, and what activities make up their busy social calendar.

Next Steps

• Once you’ve applied our dedicated in-house recruitment team will call to share more about the role.
• The next step will be an interview in the service, where you’ll meet the team and the people we support.
• If successful, we’ll organise your Free DBS Check and references prior to confirming your start date.
• Your journey will then begin with a 3-day online induction, before heading to the service to get started.

We welcome applications from all backgrounds. You will already have experience in the social care sector or NHS or may be looking for your next step (Mental Health Support Worker, Care Worker, Healthcare Assistant or Care Assistant). As long as you come with a person-centred approach, a caring nature, and you are able to demonstrate a commitment to working as part of a team to support disabled and autistic people – then we’re here to provide you with the training and knowledge needed to succeed.
