Experience within a care or mental health settings is desirable, but not essential, qualifications are advantageous, however, we have a great Learning and Development team who are happy to support you and your personal development and work to progress your career with us! Our employees and clients come from all over the world, we proudly promote a friendly and inclusive culture and are registered as a Disability Confident Employer.
The duties within any role vary from day to day. Some of the core duties within the role will include: supporting, encouraging and prompting residents with their medication; taking part in a range of activities during key working sessions with residents whilst helping them to achieve their aspirations; promoting and encouraging both physical and mental well-being; update and maintain records electronically; ensure house rules are kept and adhered to, as well as providing a safe and respectful environment; conduct regular welfare checks and promoting residents to develop their skills and increase their independence; liaise with multi-disciplinary teams and carers .
