Job Description

Shifts: 12 hour shifts that would consist of days, nights, and rota weekend (8AM- 8PM and 8PM - 8AM)
Rate: £12.90 per hour
Fair View Lodge is located in the market town of Newton Abbot. We offer residential support for three adults who are autistic or have a learning disability. Our home is located in a pleasant residential area, within walking distance of the town centre. Our team are dedicated to providing the people we care for with the skills they need to live a healthier and happy life in their own communities. We know our residents have a variety of different needs and we work to ensure that their physical, intellectual, emotional and social needs are met.
It would be ideal if you have previous experience gained in a similar role.

Your positive attitude and passion for providing high quality care and support will be your key strengths, but you'll also have a friendly, patient and positive approach to work.
As a Support Worker, you will assist qualified staff with the assessment and implementation of individual patient care plans, undertaking routine tasks and activities as directed or delegated to facilitate wellbeing, dignity and treatment of residents. You will provide support with day to day activities, whilst encouraging and promoting independent living. As part of our team, you’ll help people reach their potential, through both practical and emotional support, making a positive difference to their lives.
