Support Worker

Job description

*What are we looking for?*

As a Support Worker, you will be key in supporting young adults with complex needs within their own home and within the community. We are looking for positive, compassionate, and caring support workers who have the right values and attitude to grow and develop with Gray healthcare. We are looking for flexible motivated candidates who are willing and have the ability to participate in a Back Up rota when required.

It can be quite a challenging environment at times, so a positive attitude, compassion, resilience, and vigilance are important. But it is hugely rewarding to see people we support improve; being able to do something today that they couldn't do last week because of you.

*Who will you support?*

I am a gentleman looking for a team of support workers to support me to live in my new home.

This is a new and exciting time for me, and I need you to be enthusiastic, with a positive outlook on life and have the ability to use proactive strategies effectively to support me to stay safe, build my independence and learn new skills.

I am an extremely energetic and fit young man, I have lots of sensory needs, I like to go for walks and can be active for large periods of the day.

I like my home to be a non-confrontational and relaxed environment.

I would benefit from support workers who are experienced in working with a Positive Behaviour Support Model and can be absolutely consistent in following my plans as this makes me feel less anxious

I need you to be outgoing and easy to talk to, I can vocalise very loudly at times and for extended periods. I need you to be understanding and non-judgemental so you can support me to manage my needs, develop good routines and build positive, trusting relationships.

*What are the rewards?*

· Work life balance

· Birthday Leave

· Long Service award

· Wellbeing at work

· Employee discount scheme

· Access to Gray Healthcare's unique training program
