Summary
Do you have the commitment and values to make a real difference to the lives of people with care needs? Are you passionate about empowering them to improve their quality of life, while supporting them to realise their hopes, dreams and aspirations?
Creative Support is a not-for-profit organisation which provides high quality, person-centred support to people with physical disabilities, learning disabilities, mental health needs and dementia. The support we offer is tailored to the individual client’s needs and encourages independence and community engagement.
We are seeking two warm, compassionate and proactive people to take a lead in providing person-centered care and support to our services users. The service has capacity for 60 residents in Harrow, which is a rich and culturally diverse area. You will also provide support to the Extra Care Registered Manager in ensuring an empowering service which meets the needs of our clients and works with the service user’s families and friends to promote a positive atmosphere. You must be flexible, energetic and reliable.
You must be willing to embrace all aspects of the role including, but not limited to, providing support with personal care and domestic tasks, and supporting individuals to access work, education and social opportunities. We value the personal skills and interests you bring to the role and to the lives of the people we support, such as, sports and outdoor pursuits, creative arts, music, and cooking to name but a few.
You will be required to work in a flexible manner, on a roster basis, which will include evenings, weekends and sleep-ins. Previous practitioner experience in working with vulnerable adults is essential; however what we need most from you is gumption and a can-do attitude.
