Female Support Worker (Bank) - Driver
We are recruiting flexible Bank Support Workers for this role based in Woodthorpe, Nottingham (NG5).
For this role, you must hold a UK driving license to be able to drive the house vehicle, which is an automatic.
In this service, we support 2 ladies in their own home to live their daily lives. Both ladies have different needs and levels of mobility, so you will provide person-centred support to ensure they are as independent as possible. Previous experience supporting individuals with epilepsy, learning disabilities and dementia would be great, but we're also happy to train the right person!
What you'll be doing:
The role involves supporting people to achieve their aspirational goals and to become more independent and make their own choices each day. Our staff team are trained on how best to support each person within the service. This can include supporting with:
- Personal care
- Mobility support
- Medication administration
- Household support e.g. cooking, cleaning, managing budgets and finances
- Fun activities, including colouring in, going out shopping (and for a hot chocolate and cake!), watching movies, listening to music (and singing along) and relaxing at home.
There is 1 member of staff working from 10am - 10am the next day (this includes a sleepover shift from 10pm - 7am). We also provide 1:1 support every Saturday from 10am - 3pm.
Sometimes the people we support really need a male or female person to support them. For this particular role, a female colleague is required. This is a genuine occupational requirement as defined by the Equality Act 2010
