Are you passionate about making a difference in the lives of others?
We are currently seeking a dedicated, compassionate, and enthusiastic Support Worker to join our team and provide person-centred support to individuals with learning disabilities. If you have a caring nature and a desire to help others live as independently as possible, we want to hear from you.
About Us
The Cambian Group is committed to delivering high-quality, compassionate care to individuals with learning disabilities, supporting them to live meaningful lives and achieve their full potential. Our mission is to empower people to gain greater independence and enjoy greater social inclusion in their communities.
As a Support Worker in our Learning Disabilities Service, you will play a crucial role in helping people lead fulfilling, happy lives. You’ll provide both practical and emotional support, promoting dignity, respect, and independence at every step.
The Role
As a Support Worker in Learning Disabilities, you will assist and encourage individuals with learning disabilities to reach their personal goals, live as independently as possible, and enjoy an enhanced quality of life. Your role will involve a variety of responsibilities, tailored to the needs of the individual you are supporting. These may include:
Personal Care and Support: Assisting with daily living activities such as dressing, bathing, and personal hygiene, whilst promoting independence wherever possible.
Encouraging Independence: Supporting individuals in learning life skills, such as cooking, cleaning, budgeting, and using public transport.
Emotional and Social Support: Providing companionship and support to individuals in both structured and unstructured settings, ensuring they feel included and valued.
Health and Wellbeing: Assisting with medication management, supporting appointments, and promoting healthy lifestyle choices such as exercise and nutritious eating.
Engaging Activities: Encouraging participation in community activities, hobbies, and social events, and supporting the development of new skills or hobbies.
Promoting Rights and Dignity: Ensuring that each individual’s choices, rights, and privacy are respected, in accordance with relevant legislation and organisational policies.
Record Keeping: Maintaining accurate and up-to-date care records, including any relevant assessments, care plans, and progress notes.
Working as Part of a Team: Collaborating with other staff members, families, and external professionals, ensuring the best outcomes for the individuals we support.
Who We Are Looking For
We are looking for a caring and motivated individual who is committed to improving the lives of those with learning disabilities. The ideal candidate will have the following qualities:
Empathy and Compassion: You will be a compassionate and understanding individual with the ability to build strong, trusting relationships with the people you support.
Patience and Flexibility: You will need to demonstrate patience, a calm demeanour, and flexibility in your approach, as no two days will be the same.
Communication Skills: Strong verbal and written communication skills are essential for working with both individuals and teams effectively. You will need to communicate clearly, sensitively, and confidently.
Team Player: While you will work directly with individuals, you will also need to work as part of a supportive and collaborative team, contributing to the development of person-centred care plans.
Positive Attitude: A ‘can-do’ attitude and a genuine desire to help others are essential for this role.
