We are looking for Support Workers to work at our Supported Living Services in Crowthorne. We welcome unexperienced or experienced applicants with knowledge of supporting individuals with Autism and/or Learning Disabilities within a supported living environment. A full clean UK driving license is required, and sleep-ins will be needed on a weekly basis in this role.
You must be able to work flexibly on a shift rota basis, covering a mixture of shifts, but there is usually always something to suit. Full details of shifts will be provided upon speaking with you.
Role overview
Providing individual and person centred support to adults with learning disabilities living in our care homes in Crowthorne. You will enable and empower the people we support to live an ordinary life as active citizens in the community, by maximising independence and promoting their choices and decisions as much as possible. There are aspects of the role that include assisting with personal care and accessing the community.
About you
You may have experience of supporting people with learning disabilities in a work, personal, or voluntary setting. If you have experience of autism or positive behavior support this is desirable. You may be a student working towards or having achieved your NVQ/QCF Level 2 or equivalent recently. For the right candidate with transferable skills full training can be supplied. You will need to be able to work on a shift Rota basis, be a great team player, motivated, enthusiastic and able to build positive relationships. Excellent listening and communication skills are essential. You will also need to be able to demonstrate a good standard of written, verbal and numeracy skills, as well as good basic IT skills.
Our Supported Living Services

One home is based in Ravenswood Village, whilst the other four are just a short distance away. This allows the individuals we support, to access activities and remain part of Ravenswood as well as the local community. All service users like to take pride in their own homes making them homely and welcoming. If you are committed, hard working, fun and wanting to assist someone to flourish in their daily lives, this could be the team for you
