As a Support Worker at Holly Lodge you will be supporting residents with day-to-day living and a variety of activities. From shopping, personal care, medication support and help at mealtimes, to some light household duties and making that all important night-time cuppa or supper before bed. You may also support with outdoor activities, like travelling around the area, going to the cinema and beyond.

The main purpose of the role is to provide an integrated, ethical and inclusive service, which meets agreed needs and outcomes for people with learning disabilities requiring health and/or social care, by:

Actively supporting people to meet their goals and realise their dreams and aspirations, in a person-centred way

Promoting empowerment and wellbeing, with care and respect.

Ensuring that safeguarding policies and procedures are applied to the care, protection and safeguarding of the people we support.

'Many of us enjoy a variety of activities, so if you like going bowling, ice-skating or on day trips out, then this would be fantastic, as we really enjoy these things. If we choose to do something a little less physical, we also like going to the cinema to watch a movie or out for a pub lunch. Maybe, you will be happy to take us away on holiday? We would truly love this. Ideally, we need a team who can work flexibly, including evenings, weekends, sleep ins and some bank holidays, when required, as we need your support around the clock. If you have some restrictions, that is okay, we have a team of bank staff too, who come in and work with us when they have some free time.'

Experience is not necessarily required as we offer excellent levels of professional training to all our support workers, with on-the-job one to one coaching and learning, supported by additional educational qualifications if you require further development.
