Since the early days, we’ve grown to provide many innovative and bespoke care services to thousands of people across England and Scotland. We want to provide support based on the principles of choice, dignity and respect. This resonates in our vision of ‘Your Life, Your Choice’ and our strategy ‘Best Lives Possible’.
We have strong values and we’re proud to pioneer new ways of delivering social care to stand out in our sector. In the past two years, we have won or made the shortlist for over 100 national and regional awards!
We are focused on our people. Our Support Workers are dedicated and passionate about going ‘the extra mile’ for the people we support and in return, we go the extra mile for them by investing in pay, recognition, wellbeing and continued professional and personal development. We will provide you with all the training, support and personal protective equipment you need in your role and will help you develop, should you decide you want to develop your career with us.
Who you’ll be supporting & more about the role:
This service is located in the Broadstone / Poole area. There are supermarkets and local shops close by. We have built relationships with people in the local community and they are all very friendly.
The people we support live in a number of flats and they require staff who can support them with their day to day lives, including support with medication, managing emotions, eating and drinking, personal care, behaviours of concern, moving & positioning, communication, and anything else that they may need.
The people we support all get along with each other really well, despite being so different! They all look out for each other and like spending time together. They also enjoy spending time together, as well as doing their own things. They have a lot of different interests such as arts & crafts, shopping, going out for coffee & cake, dancing and singing, rugby, reading, pamper days, going for drives in the country, long walks and much, much more.
They like to use their own cars to go out and about so it is important that you have a full UK Driving Licence!
