The Role

Covering leave, training and sickness with hours that fit in with life's other commitments, a relief support worker role is an ideal way of discovering that this could be the career for you.

About the role
As a relief support worker at Hft you'll be supporting adults with learning disabilities to live the best life possible. In this caring and creative role, everything you do will enable people to have choices about their own lives, creating flexible services that meet people's needs and always looking for the best way of doing things.

The purpose of your role is to give the highest possible standards of support to individuals with moderate to severe learning disabilities, in all aspects of their daily lives. You'll be helping to ensure the people we support:

  • Build confidence to develop interests
  • Feel secure and safe
  • Are provided with any personal care needed with dignity
  • Increase independence
  • Are enabled to make as many choices as possible
  • Achieve personal goals, which may include travel or holidays

We provide 24/7 support to some people, as a relief support worker you will be requested to cover shifts regularly on an ad hoc basis.

About you
You don't need experience of support work or any special qualifications for this job - you'll get plenty of training along the way. Having the right values and wanting to make a difference to enable people to live a more fulfilling and independent life is what matters most. You will need to have good listening skills and a practical, caring approach. You also need to have basic level IT skills to be able to use a computer to record information about people you will be supporting.

It's great if you already have experience of working with people with learning disabilities, autism or dementia, but it's not essential. What matters most is your positive attitude to life and your desire to support people to live their life with as much independence, choice, dignity and control as possible.

A full, current UK/EU driving licence would be preferable
