About The Team
Our Extra Care service provides housing for adults who have some care needs, with an assured tenancy in a self-contained flat in a purpose-built or adapted scheme. We provide care to the standard we expect for ourselves and our families and offer a working environment where high quality care and compassion are respected and rewarded.
About The Role
We are looking for Support Workers to join us on a casual basis which means you'll have flexibility and access to shifts that suit you; you could work for a day here and there, agree a longer term booking, or select evenings only or weekends only. As this is a casual role shifts are not guaranteed. Casual staff are entitled to annual leave based on the hours that they have worked. The annual leave will be paid rather than taken as time off.
We are looking for compassionate and dedicated Support Workers to join our team who will strive to support individuals to retain independence and stay in control of their lives.
As An Extra Care Support Worker, You Will
- Assist tenants with personal care activities such as washing, personal hygiene and dressing.
- Promote tenants' independence, choice, dignity and respect by delivering the best standards of care.
- Adhere to and complete accurate and timely records of the care and support provided to tenants.
- Provide support to access third party and NHS services.
- Promote lifestyle choice, offering individuals the opportunity and motivation to retain independence and stay in control of their lives.
