Are you looking for 'a job for life'?

Then come work at NCHA’s Patrick Court; a project rated “outstanding” by CQC and help to make a positive difference in a vulnerable person’s life.

Patrick Court, a project for Adults with Autism and Learning Disabilities is looking for caring and motivated Support Workers to join their dedicated team in Burton Latimer. Support provided to these adults will be aimed at helping them live independently and do the same things you would do in everyday life; this could be anything from domestic tasks and personal care to accessing social/leisure activities.  Although the role is challenging, it is highly rewarding at the same time as the little things you do every day will have life-changing results for the people you support.
 
As one of our highly valued Support Workers, you will provide a person-centred approach to service users, devising and implementing individual care and/or support plans with risk assessments to promote independence. An exceptional communicator, you will liaise effectively with both internal and external agencies to ensure a ‘joined up’ approach.

Our ideal candidate will be a positive and proactive team player who is determined to make a difference in a vulnerable person's life. With experience of supporting people with Autism and/learning disabilities, you will be resilient and confident, able to demonstrate a robust and safe approach to dealing with challenging/complex behaviour.

A full UK driving licence is required along with a flexible approach to working hours to meet the demands of the role (to include different shifts and sleep-ins).

Please note that due to the needs of the customers, there may be an element of moving and handling involved in the role; as such, you will need to be willing and able to undertake these duties.

Closing date: 28th February
