Priority Recruitment are excited to present this brand-new opportunity for a Support Worker in Lincoln.

We are seeking a patient, caring Support Worker to look after a 51-year-old man with cerebral palsy who is non-verbal.

The role includes personal care and manual handling and supporting him in his day-to-day life.

We are searching for a Support Worker who shares our belief that disability is not a barrier and doesn’t have to stop anyone from living their best life and enjoying new and varied experiences.

Initially, this is a temporary role with the opportunity to be employed permanently after an initial trial period.

Please note that previous experience in complex care and a driver’s license is required for this role.

Salary & Benefits:

- Fantastic pay rate of £15 per hour during the week and £17 per hour at the weekends and on Bank Holidays.
- Weekly pay.
- DBS fees reimbursed.
- Access to 30,000+ national and local employee discounts (electronics, home appliances, food, groceries, car buying, travel, fitness and more).
- Access to 100+ free virtual courses, live and on-demand, to improve your skills and aid self-development.
- Refer a friend scheme – you can earn up to £500 per referral!
- Permanent employment option available after a trial period.

Client and Role:

- Supporting the client at his own home.
- Our client lives with cerebral palsy.
- Support with hoisting, personal care, toileting, meals, and domestic tasks on his return home and at weekends.

Successful Applicant:

- Must have a full valid driving license to drive the client to appointments using a family vehicle.
- Previous experience with clients living with cerebral palsy and complex care is essential.
- Able to work unsociable hours (mornings, evenings, and weekends).

The role will be truly rewarding for someone who is able to communicate effectively and work with patience, tact, understanding, warmth and compassion.

This is an excellent opportunity for a dedicated Team Leader to join a specialist home care team and develop their existing skills to support this very special little girl.
