Description

Are you looking for an empowering and rewarding career where you can help people to lead their most independent lives?

The Lifeways Group in
Brunswick Village are currently looking to expand their fantastic team of Support Workers in our local Supported Living services.

At Brunswick Gardens apartments, people benefit from a vibrant network of staff and friends, while having peace and quiet when they need it too.

The property has sixteen one-bedroom apartments, each with an open-plan kitchen and living room, and a wet room-style bathroom. Brunswick Gardens also has an accessible garden or people to spend time relaxing outside when the weather is good.

Assistive technology can be tailored to suit the needs of each person and includes an intercom, CCTV and a Tunstall connected care system.

There is a lift for wheelchair access to the upper floor.

You'll either be an enthusiastic person with plenty of patience looking for a career change to bring new life and experiences into our service or you'll be an experienced Support Worker with a background in complex emotional or behavioural settings looking for a change and wanting to be part of a team that will make a difference to two young people with complex needs to give them new opportunities in their life both at home and in the community.

You'll get a fully paid induction with ongoing training and support from a dedicated Manager plus the opportunity to undertake a qualification in health and social care funded by Lifeways Group plus so much more when you join.

We work within the principles of person-centred support, enabling development and inclusion in their everyday lives within their home and wider community.

Each service user has their own self-contained room within the service buildings and your work will be varied as you'll be supporting with all sorts of activities including swimming, shopping, going for a coffee, going to the cinema, visiting zoos and clubs.
