Creative Support, a not-for-profit provider of social care services, is recruiting Waking Night Concierge Support Workers for complex needs services in both Blackpool and Fleetwood. Successful candidates will likely be required to work across both sites.
The Blackpool service is for complex clients with dual diagnosis. It provides accommodation based support for people with a range of support needs including mental health issues, learning disabilities, drug and/or alcohol misuse issues, people with complex needs and people with an offending history. The Fleetwood service supports people living in their own flats that have very complex needs and very unique abilities that require quite focussed support and a good understanding of the need to follow specific guidelines.
You will work alongside dedicated staff teams to provide person-centred focused support that enables our service users to develop the necessary life skills for independent living. You will manage building security and act as an initial contact for service users when on duty. You will support people to access other services that will be beneficial to their physical, emotional and financial wellbeing and will support people to access meaningful and engaging activities both in their scheme and the local community, with the aim of supporting people to be active and equal citizens.
You must be a positive individual with an empathetic approach to meeting the needs of our service users. It is essential that you are able to work independently, using your own initiative and as part of a team, and that you have good verbal and written communication skills. Experience of working in a community-based service is desirable. The ability to drive is preferred for this role.
Our range of benefits to ensure job satisfaction includes:
- Guaranteed contracted hours
- Free life assurance
- Pension with company contribution
- A range of employee discounts
Creative Support is an equal opportunities employer and is committed to delivering local high quality care through a well-established and supported local work force.
