About the role

National Star is recruiting extra special people to join its committed team of care and support workers helping young people with complex disabilities to live life as independently as possible. We currently prefer applicants with previous care experience and a positive attitude toward the aspirations of young people with disabilities and are able to commit to a minimum of 30 hours a week working shift patterns to include earlies (staring at 7 am) and lates (finishing at 10pm) and alternate weekends.

As one of our care and support workers you will be a key member of our team, providing personalised care to enable residents to enjoy their hobbies and interests and realise their aspirations. The long-term residents that we support have a wide range of learning and physical disabilities and previous experience of working in this environment would be hugely beneficial to help us provide the support they need in their every day lives.

We offer opportunities to complete fully-funded level 2 and level 3 qualifications in adult social care, learning support and team leader (supervisor) should you wish to.

We would encourage you to apply early for these roles as we are currently holding interviews and will withdraw the vacancy if suitable appointments are made.

(Please note that unfortunately we are unable to provide sponsorship currently or consider applicants holding skilled worker / temporary student / graduate visas)
