The Gouldings Resource Centre in Freshwater is looking for a Support Worker.
A scenic 20-minute journey from Newport and directly on a main bus route, we are looking to recruit a team member to join us to deliver outstanding reablement support alongside crisis and planned short stay care to the 23 people who use our Services.
You will work directly with the people staying at the home to identify and achieve their own goals and help them on their journey to independence.
The role is rewarding, dynamic and versatile and as a Support Worker, you will be working with individuals and other colleagues ensuring the service we offer is effective to meet people’s needs in a ‘do with’ rather than ‘do for’ way.
We will provide you with unrivalled support through supervision and a fantastic learning and development offer.
If you have a level 2 diploma in health and social care, that’s great but if not, we will help you achieve it.
A good knowledge of literacy and numeracy is also essential but again, we can help you there if you need it.
