Are you looking for a diverse role that is fun, stimulating and rewarding every day?
Creative Support is looking for a warm and caring Support Worker to join our friendly Extra Care team in Barrow-in-Furness. At our lively service, we provide quality care and support to 31 residents, helping and encouraging them to lead a fulfilling and enriched life. The service is made up of 41 self-contained flats and the individuals we support are upward of 55 years old with a range of needs including Dementia, learning disabilities & physical disabilities. Our residents have a wide range of support needs, some require a lot of support including double calls as they require hoisting, and others only require prompting with medication.
Our service is conveniently situated within walking distance of the town center, with a bus stop at our front doorstep which connects us with the Lake District & surrounding areas. The Bingo Hall opposite us is very popular with our residents, and a few yards up the road is our local British Legion club which hosts live entertainment several nights a week.
No two days are the same as we support our residents to follow their passions and engage in a wide range of activities. Activities may include movie nights, gardening, day trips, meals out and many more!
