Are you passionate about supporting vulnerable adults in our community to enhance their lives?
Do you have the skills and experience to deliver high-quality care, enabling people to develop and maintain their independence and wellbeing?
If so, this might be the role for you. As a Health and Social Care Worker, you will have a varied and rewarding role making a real difference to people’s lives. Working as part of a multidisciplinary team to support adults across Knowsley, you will be part of a friendly team where training and ongoing support is provided.
We are seeking people willing to work a varied shift pattern including days, evenings, bank holidays and weekends. The post is subject to enhanced hours and sleep in payments as appropriate for shift patterns.
We are also seeking people who want to consistently work waking nights only each week.
Please note that due to resourcing requirements, we are not currently recruiting people who are only able to work days in this role.
Our focus is provision for people with complex needs including learning disabilities, autism, mental health needs and physical disabilities. The service is delivered in a range of settings including supported living, respite and day services.
You will provide person centred and bespoke care and support, assisting people to engage in opportunities that are meaningful to them. The role does include providing dignified personal care.
You will be required to work flexibly and in some part of the service you will be required to lone work.
As part of the recruitment process we will collate preferences regarding where in the borough you would prefer to work.
However, we may not be able to accommodate all preferences. Plus, according to operational need, and with reasonable notice, we may at times ask that you work in alternative Together We Care locations within the borough. On some occasions, if it is unavoidable that we have to move your working location at short notice, we will aim for the change to be a reasonable distance from the original working location, if possible.
An enhanced DBS check will also be undertaken.
