Creative Support is a national not-for-profit organization which provides care and support to people with learning disabilities, autism spectrum conditions, mental health needs, and older people. Our supported living service in Telford and Shropshire provides person centred support to adults who have learning disabilities.

We have vacancies in our supported living services in Lawley, Dawley and Bratton in Telford and in Pontesbury, Shifnal, Oswestry, Shrewsbury and Bridgnorth in Shropshire.

We are looking for warm, caring individuals to provide person-centered support to adults with learning disabilities in the Telford and Shropshire area. Your role will include:

  • Providing personal care, practical and emotional support to adults with learning disabilities
  • Maximising service user outcomes by promoting independence and social inclusion
  • Encouraging service users to be involved in decisions regarding their care and lives
  • Collaborate with service users, their families and involved professionals to provide a consistent and coordinated service.

It is expected that you will work flexibly, including evenings, weekends, sleep-in and waking night shifts, to meet the needs of the service.

Experienced is not essential for this role. You will have a warm, caring nature, and a commitment to making a positive difference in people's lives. We welcome applications from experienced practitioners, graduates, and individuals looking to pursue a career in social care.

This unique and challenging opportunity will provide you with an environment that encourages personal and professional development. After successful completion of the probationary period, you will automatically be enrolled in the NVQ level 3 Health and Social Care Diploma and you will receive on-going training to best meet the needs of the service users.
