Summary
Are you looking for a fulfilling job in homely, warm environment? We are offering a full-time support worker position in our residential home, Shalom.
Located in the quiet village of Baydon, about 20 minutes’ drive from Swindon, Shalom is home to 4 individuals with learning disabilities and complex health needs.
The individuals at Shalom would like a support worker who has a cheerful happy approach to support them with all aspects of their daily life, care and support needs. Although non-verbal they enjoy laughter and banter.
We are looking for a compassionate and reliable person with a good sense of humour. Experience in care is not essential; we will provide full training. You will be working with a very supportive, established staff team who will ensure that all your training needs are met in order to provide high quality care and support to the people who live at Shalom.
Our shift patterns are varied and reflect the needs of the individual. They can include 15-hour long days with a sleep-in or shorter shifts, which could consist of:
14:00 – 22:00, 07:00 – 14:30, 07:30 – 15:00 or 12:30 – 20:00.
Due to bus services and shift patterns a full driving license is essential.
At Milestones Trust we recognise that without the hard work, commitment and passion of our staff, we wouldn’t be the charity that we are today. In return, we are committed to rewarding you with a competitive pay and benefits package including:
- 30 days annual leave entitlement (including all recognised public holidays)
- Company pension scheme, to help grow your retirement pot
- Learning and development opportunities to help you to build your career, including a comprehensive induction programme, and the opportunity to undertake further qualifications
- Health Cash Plan on completion of probation giving you access to a minimum of £695 cash back for health treatments e.g. dental, therapies, optical, maternity/paternity, NHS prescriptions etc.
- Generous Occupational Maternity/Paternity pay
- Get paid when you want – access your money as you earn it and request your earnings before payday using Dayforce Wallet
- An employee referral scheme that allows you to earn money for referring friends and family.
We pride ourselves with being able to offer staff opportunities to develop and progress their careers within the Trust.
