Are you looking to further your career with a company driven by a vision for a world in which people with disabilities are able to realise their potential as equal and active citizens in control of their lives?
Do you have strong care experience and have worked with residents with complex learning disabilities?
National Star is recruiting extra special people to join its committed team of care and support workers helping young people with complex disabilities to live life as independently as possible. We currently prefer applicants with previous care experience and a positive attitude toward the aspirations of young people with disabilities and are able to commit to a minimum of 30 hours a week working shift patterns to include earlies (starting at 7am) and lates (finishing at 10pm) and alternate weekends.
As one of our care and support workers you will be a key member of our team, providing personalised care to enable residents to enjoy their hobbies and interests and realise their aspirations. The long-term residents that we support have a wide range of learning and physical disabilities and previous experience of working in this environment would be hugely beneficial to help us provide the support they need in their everyday lives.
We offer opportunities to complete fully-funded level 2 and level 3 qualifications in adult social care, learning support and team leader (supervisor) should you wish to.
Key tasks involve:
- Delivering all aspects of personal care including washing, dressing, personal appearance, toileting, mouth, nail, and foot care and feeding.
- Provide support in our long-term living accommodation and out in the community.
- Plan, organise and support high quality leisure activities. This may involve trips into the community, visits to the cinema, pubs and restaurants or simply helping a resident pursue their favourite hobby or sport.
- Liaise with family members, enabling a resident to speak to parents, friends and family and providing updates on activities and progress
- Administer medication to residents in line with policy and procedure, after receiving relevant training.
We would encourage you to apply early for these roles as we are currently holding interviews and will withdraw the vacancy if suitable appointments are made.
