Summary
We are looking for confident, strong and calm individuals to work in our Durham Services, providing person centred support to service users who have a learning disability, autism and complex needs so that they can experience a wide range of opportunities for personal development.
You will have skills in positive communication and engagement and will be able to demonstrate unconditional positive regard for the people we support. You will have the confidence to be able to work within a positive behaviour support framework, to accept responsibility and to develop as a skilled practitioner. You must be able to follow agreed guidelines and to work positively within a consistent, mutually supportive team ethos.
Support Workers are to cover a 24hr rota pattern, which includes sleep-ins, as part of a friendly, motivated team.
Creative Support’s Development Pathway offers a structured induction and values-led training to help staff grow from entry-level to leadership roles. It empowers career progression through tailored learning aligned with national strategies and the WE CARE framework.
Car drivers are preferable as there is an opportunity to drive service user’s cars to participate in activities in the community.
