Full job description
Job Overview
We’re on the hunt for genuinely caring, hands-on Support Workers with a passion for enhancing the quality of life of the people we support. Our supported living service, Ferncliffe House in Halifax, is a welcoming and friendly environment, and you can be sure that no two days will be the same!
One day you could be out with the people we support in the local community, and the next you could be unwinding with them, watching films or doing activities of their choice in the comfort of the service.
This is an amazing role for someone who is looking to really make a difference in someone’s life and to help them grow in confidence and independence so that they meet their goals, whether this be making dinner by themselves or going on holiday.
Duties
You’ll be enhancing the lives of the people we support by teaching them new life skills, assisting with personal care, cooking, and cleaning when required, encouraging them to access their local communities, socialising, and doing lots of activities. You’ll be helping people to gain more independence in their daily lives, whilst working within a dynamic team to support a fantastic group of people!
Key Requirements
We’re interested in our Support Workers having both the right experience and the right values. This is why at this service our Support Workers should hold a full UK driving license, be resilient, flexible, and composed in their approach, have experience working with individuals requiring enhanced support, including behaviours of distress, mental health conditions, autism, and potentially people who have experienced trauma.
Why choose us?
We embrace people’s differences and encourage you to Be You, and so long as you’ve got the passion to make someone’s life better, we can give you all the skills and development opportunities you need to build a great career.
We encourage our staff to Grow Together through our excellent training programme, starting at induction and following you through your career, with opportunities for promotion and progression as well as job security in a sector-leading organisation.
We have a fantastic range of benefits for our staff, and we offer sector-leading career progression, so don’t hesitate to apply today and make a real difference to the lives of the people we’re supporting!
All applicants and subsequent job offers will be subject to satisfactory DBS checks and references.
