£12.71 per hour | 22.5 hours per week | Permanent
Are you caring, enthusiastic and ready for a role where no two days are the same?
We're looking for two passionate Support Workers to join our friendly team in Nanpantan, Loughborough, supporting four adults with learning disabilities to live happy, fulfilling and independent lives.
What could your day look like?
One day you could be enjoying a boat trip, supporting someone at college or heading out swimming. The next, you might be getting creative at a craft session, visiting a garden centre, enjoying a singalong or helping someone prepare their favourite meal.
You'll play an important part in making these experiences possible, whilst building meaningful relationships and supporting people to make their own choices.
What will you be doing?
- Supporting people with everyday activities, independence and life skills.
- Providing personal care and supporting with medication.
- Cooking, household tasks and helping people enjoy their favourite activities.
- Supporting access to the community, day centres, college and social opportunities.
- Building positive relationships and ensuring everyone is treated with dignity and respect.
A little about the role:
- 22.5 hours per week (three days).
- Shifts between 7am–2.30pm and 2.30pm–9.30pm.
- Every other weekend off.
- £12.71 per hour.
- Based in Nanpantan, Loughborough.
What are we looking for?
Above all, someone with a kind, patient and positive approach who enjoys helping others achieve their goals.
Previous experience is welcome but having the right attitude, enthusiasm and willingness to learn is just as important.
A full manual driving licence would be an advantage, as you'll sometimes support people to get out and about. You'll also receive training relevant to the role, including medication and specialist care procedures.
