About Exemplar Health Care:

We have over 20 years of experience providing exceptional specialist nursing care for adults living with complex and high acuity needs.

We started our journey as a training company, and have grown into one of the country's leading providers of adult specialist care, with over 40 complex needs care homes in England.

Our vision is that adults living with complex needs can access outstanding specialist care and support, in a community-based home that's close to their family and friends, and that focuses on their personal goals and outcomes.

Our person-centred care is the bedrock for maximising independence, building everyday living skills and empowering people to live as fulfilled lives as possible.

Our mission is to make every day better for the people we support and our colleagues.

We're proud of the culture that we've created at Exemplar Health Care, which is underpinned by our vision, mission and values.

About the home:

Copperfields is a specialist care home in Cross Green, Leeds, for adults living with complex and high acuity needs.

The home specialises in supporting people living with complex mental health needs, neuro-disabilities, brain injuries, spinal injuries and complex dementia.

Working with families, professionals and most importantly our service users, we build care and activity plans around individuals. Encouraging service users to be happy and develop their skills is important. We want to ensure they are working towards their goals, and gain a sense of achievement.

Your enthusiasm, warmth and compassion is a fundamental part in helping our Service Users to feel respected, included and cared for.

You will promote the core values of care, help maintain independence, dignity, assist with personal care and ensure the physical and emotional needs of our Service Users are met.

About the Role:

As an Activities Team Worker, you'll support our Service Users to take part in activities that are meaningful to them.

Your role will focus on supporting people to maximise their independence, build their everyday living skills and live their best life, and lead the current Skills team to ensure this.

A big part of our care involves empowering people to be involved in their local community.
