Job description

Are you looking for an empowering and rewarding career where you can help people to lead their most independent lives?

The Lifeways Group in Choppington are currently looking to expand their fantastic team of Support Workers in our local residential services..

The property has been split into two separate bungalows, joined by a corridor and sharing a utility room. Flax One has five bedrooms, while Flax Two has four. Both bungalows have one bathroom which has a shower over the high low bath, overhead tracking and an accessible toilet.

Flax One has a kitchen, an open-plan dining and living room, and a accessible toilet. Flax Two has a kitchen, a dining room, a living room, a laundry room and an accessible toilet.

Flax Cottages also has two accessible gardens with a patio - one for each bungalow. People enjoy spending time outdoors when the weather is good and often come together for BBQs. Assistive technology can be tailored to suit the needs of each person. The property has level access and Flax One has widened doors for wheelchair access.

You’ll either be an enthusiastic person with plenty of patience looking for a career change to bring new life and experiences into our service or you’ll be an experienced Support Worker with a background in complex emotional or behavioural settings looking for a change and wanting to be part of a team that will make a difference to two young people with complex needs to give them new opportunities in their life both at home and in the community.

You’ll get a fully paid induction with ongoing training and support from a dedicated Manager plus the opportunity to undertake a qualification in health and social care funded by Lifeways Group plus so much more when you join.

We work within the principles of person-centred support, enabling development and inclusion in their everyday lives within their home and wider community. Each service user has their own self-contained room within the service buildings and your work will be varied as you’ll be supporting with all sorts of activities including swimming, shopping, going for a coffee, going to the cinema, visiting zoos and clubs.

You’ll be supporting the service user with general household chores such as cooking, laundry, vacuuming and dusting and in some cases personal care (assisting with bathing, toileting and feeding).
