About you
You don't need previous experience in social care. What's most important is that you:
- share our values and views on dignity and inclusion
- enjoy working with people
- have good communication skills
- are reliable and adaptable
- can work on your own initiative and as part of a team
- are enthusiastic about helping people achieve their goals
- bring energy, creativity and a willingness to learn
Whether you are starting a new career, returning to work or looking for a role with real purpose, we would love to hear from you.
No one will meet every single desired qualification. If your experience looks a little different from what we're saying and you think you can bring value to the role, we'd love to learn more about you!
About the role
As a Support Worker within LDDS, you will play a vital role in empowering adults with learning disabilities to live life to the fullest.
You will work as part of a friendly and supportive team, helping people to:
- achieve their personal goals and aspirations
- develop confidence, independence and life skills
- access their local communities
- participate in meaningful activities and opportunities
- build friendships and relationships
- maintain their health and wellbeing
- make choices and have control over their lives
- enjoy safe, rewarding and engaging experiences
Every day is different. One day you could be supporting someone to achieve a personal goal, the next you might be helping to run a community project, supporting people to learn new skills, enjoy a day out, develop friendships, volunteer, access education or take part in activities that matter to them.
If you want a career where you can see the difference you make every day, we would love to hear from you.
Further information about the role can be found in the job description.
