Support Workers - Full Time Days (Learning Disabilities)
Dartington, Devon
Salary scale: £22,942.40 - £24,232.00 per annum
Working hours: Full time days (40 hours per week)
We are looking for amazing full-time day Support Workers to join the team within our 10-bed Residential & Short Break Home in Dartington.
Children and young people with learning disabilities and their families are at the heart of everything we do, and we want every person we support to have a great life with excellent outcomes. We couldn’t achieve that without all the great Support Workers who join our care teams. It all starts with you!
There is no such thing as a ‘typical’ Support Worker. Our staff come from lots of different backgrounds, people with little or no experience but want a job that involves helping people, those who want a change of career, as well as experienced Support Workers. The one thing that links them all together is their desire to work with young learning-disabled people, make their lives better, and help them to learn something new or take a further step towards independence. Our Support Workers certainly don’t see what they do as ‘just another job’.
No two days will be the same as you will get involved in a variety of different tasks and activities whilst helping young people to learn the skills they need to live the life they choose.
Our full-time day support workers have a shift pattern of 2 days on, 2 days off. The shifts will consist of either split shifts (07.00-10.00 then 14.30-21.30) or 12 hour shifts (08.00-20.00 or similar) dependent on whether it's during term time or a weekend/school holiday.
Who are we?
We have been running our services in Devon since 1996, supporting and encouraging people with learning disabilities to realise their aspirations and achieve their very best futures.
Our values run through everything that we do. We work with passion and are kind, friendly, respectful and positive, believing that everyone has the right to be happy, safe and live a fulfilled life.
Lifeworks is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of the people that we support and we expect all staff to share this commitment. For this post, pre-employment checks will be carried out, references will be sought, and successful candidates will need to undertake an enhanced DBS check.
