Creative Support is a non-profit provider of personalised care and support services for a wide range of service users. We are currently recruiting for enthusiastic and motivated Support Workers to join our residential service in Bromham, Bedford. If you would like a rewarding role that includes working with people who have learning and physical disabilities to achieve their life goals and join the local community (subject to COVID-restrictions) then we would love to hear from you.
Our service users at 3 The Glade, Bromham enjoy going out on local walks, watching films, bowling, discos, and going out shopping where we might even stop for a bite to eat! We are looking for support workers who are active, engaged and will empower these people to improve their independence and quality of life.
Day-to-day tasks of Support Workers would include:
• Supporting service users inside their own home and out in the Bromham community (subject to COVID-restrictions)
• Supporting service users to retain their independence by teaching life skills, such as shopping, using public transport and cooking
• Engaging in activities with the service users and encouraging them to take up hobbies and achieve their personal goals
• Providing emotional support for an individual and their families.
• Providing respectful personal care and helping service users retain their dignity at all times
• Assisting with the day-to-day running of the service, including administering medication, paperwork, emails and other office duties
Experience of working with people who have learning disabilities and/or autism is beneficial but isn’t essential as you will be provided with full training for the role. 3 The Glade has a great work culture and you will join a team who will support you to grow and develop.
Drivers are beneficial due to the location of this service. However, there are some bus stops nearby and if you are a driver, there is free parking offsite for staff.
Why you should work for us:
Creative Support is a company that cares and has recently obtained the Investors in People (IIP) Silver Award which means:
• You will receive ongoing training and will be supported with any further goals you wish to achieve
• You will always work in a COVID-secure environment including full PPE at all times and weekly testing
• Free-of-charge DBS certificate
• Free access to Health Assured
• Choice of weekly or monthly pay
