Summary
⭐Derbyshire County Council are hiring! ⭐
An exciting opportunity has arisen within our adult care department to join our fast paced Community Support Bed team. We are looking for Care Workers to come and join our short-term reablement team within Bennerley Fields (Ilkeston) reablement unit.
You will be supporting clients within this unit to regain full or partial independence (physically and emotionally).
You don’t need to have previous experience of care work or qualifications as we offer structured training to ensure our care workers receive what they need to flourish and progress in their social care careers!
What are we looking for?
Are you someone with a caring personality and a desire to care for others? Do you have the ambition and drive to work positively with people, promoting choice and control to encourage their independence in personal care, mobility, medication, making meals, whilst working to their goal focussed personal service plan? If the answer is “yes” then we are keen to hear from you.
What will you be doing?
Working in care can be challenging at times, but extremely rewarding, and you will be working as part of a multi-professional team to provide wrap around support to enable people to live as independently as possible.
You will be working towards a therapeutic goal focussed care plan that is aimed at promoting independence. You will work closely with other colleagues such as Carers, Senior Care Workers, Occupational Therapists, Physio Therapists and Social Care Practitioners. The Senior Care Workers in the unit are there for “on the job” queries. You will also have support from your Deputy Unit Managers for supervision, professional development and access to training.
A robust and attainable career pathway has been built into the new structure so there will be opportunities to work your way through the structure to more senior positions.
We’re keen to hear from you if you:
Enjoy a challenge
Understand what it means to treat people with dignity and respect
Can place a person at the centre of their care
Can be creative and are forward thinking
What we offer.
Competitive rates of pay
Generous local government pension
Genuine career development opportunity
Wellbeing support
PPE and workwear
Robust Training Programme
Shadowing team colleagues
**All vacancies on offer are for hours between 18 hours and 27 hours and 30 minutes per week. You will be expected to work a mixture of shifts (earlies, afternoons and nights). There are also opportunities to work extra hours when they are available. The job will require unsocial hours including weekends and Bank Holidays.
Saturday and Sunday hours will be paid at plain time where it is part of your normal working pattern unless it is between 7pm and 7am, where enhanced rates of pay apply. Enhanced pay rates are paid for Bank Holiday working.
