Summary
Support Worker
£12per hour
Sheffield, S13
Full-time - 37.5hrs a week
Full training provided - no previous experience required!
---------------------------------
We have a fantastic opportunity available to join our fun and friendly team in Sheffield, where we support 12 people with learning disabilities and autism, across two supported living homes next door to each other.
The people we support have fabulous personalities! Some are social butterflies who like the finer things in life, and others much prefer their own company and quiet walks in the countryside.
One lady loves watching her soaps and likes to call them “the farm and the pub” which we think is very accurate - I'm sure you'll agree!
Another lady enjoys playing cards and dominoes and has no shortage of awesome stories to tell. She has a fantastic sarcastic sense of humour and knows every pub in Sheffield!
One of the men we support is a true gentleman who will greet you with a salute “good morning”. He's an avid boxing fan and loves being out of the house, so once you're out for the day, you're out for the day!
There are varying degrees of independence in both homes so the exact level of support you'll be providing will depend on the person/people you're matched to, but it is likely to include personal care, meal preparation, feeding, medication administration and domestic tasks including cooking, cleaning and laundry. Some of the people we support are wheelchair users and have use of a hoist. Full training and support will be provided.
Shifts are mornings 7 am - 2 pm, afternoons 2 pm - 9 pm, all day 7 am - 9 pm
Dimensions is proud to be one of very few social care organisations that are accredited by the Great Places To Work programme in 2024 - now 6 years in a row!
Applications will be shortlisted on receipt and interviews will be held until the posts are filled
