Who you'll be supporting & more about the role: Community Integrated Care is recruiting to expand our current team of Support Workers in Huntly!
As a Support Worker, your role will be to support individuals with their own homes.
At this service, we support 3 individuals with learning disabilities who live in a large bungalow in a quiet area of Huntly, with good train and bus links to the town.
The people we support are active in their local community, enjoying activities such as swimming, going to cafes, music and pamper sessions, so we are looking for people who are fun, active and enjoy supporting others to live the best lives possible.
In this role, you will provide support to individuals with some challenging behaviours but you will be fully trained on the needs of the people we support - including training on Moving and Positioning, Epilepsy and MAPA.
If you hold a full UK driving license, that would be a great bonus but is not a mandatory requirement.
We can offer full-time and part time and our shifts include earlies and lates.
Your values: We know it takes a special person to work in social care and we recognise that not everyone that would be perfect for the role will have professional experience.
This is why we're really passionate about recruiting to individuals' values and we recruit people from all walks of life; From people with vast experience in a support worker or care assistant role, from people with lived experiences who may have friends or relatives with disabilities or have looked after older relatives, to people with no experience at all.
Naturally it is important too that you share our company values - We Include; We Deliver; We Aspire; We Respect; We Enable, which are at the heart of everything we do and ensure that we deliver high quality, consistent care and support.
People's values are important to us, so we look for people with: - Patience - Empathy, compassion and sensitivity to others - A strong work ethic - Reliability - Honesty - Determination - A problem solver - Resilience
