The role of support worker is a particularly rewarding one - how many other jobs allow you to make a real difference to someone`s life?

We currently have opportunities to join our team of dedicated Support Workers at our Haywards Heath service in the West Sussex area. Our Haywards Heath service consists of supported living services for seven people whom have profound and multiple learning disability, autism, sensory impairment and physical disability.

As a Support Worker at Haywards Heath, you will:

- Help the people we support with cooking, cleaning and assisting with their finances.
- Encourage positive behaviour routines.
- Use a dynamic approach to enable the people we support to communicate through alternative tools and methods -such as using Makaton or a photo translation book with C.K.
- Be patient and adaptable - as flexibility when providing support is vital.
- Provide support with personal care.

Hobbies are a huge part of the lives of the people we support and you will be required to assist the people we support during a number of activities. This includes playing records with D, going carriage riding with E and cooking and going swimming with J- do you fancy yourself to be the Michael Phelps of Haywards Heath?

This is a part time position for 20 hours per week with shifts covering mornings, afternoons, evenings and will include weekends and bank holidays.

As a Support Worker, all you`ll need to have is a positive attitude and a desire to improve the lives of those with a learning disability. If you support the people within the service, we will support you with award winning training and progression opportunities throughout your career with us.
