Concierge Support Worker
Creative Support is a national, fast growing not-for-profit organisation providing support to individuals with a wide range of care needs. We are currently seeking highly motivated Concierge Support Workers to join our friendly team in Fleetwood, Blackpool. If you are seeking a rewarding career which has a positive impact on the lives of others, then we would love to hear from you!
We are looking for respectful, warm and enthusiastic individuals to work in our Lancashire Complex Needs Service in Fleetwood. The service is comprised of self-contained flats, accommodating 10 individuals with complex support needs. You will work alongside dedicated staff teams to provide person-centred support that enables our service users to develop the necessary life skills for independent living. As a Concierge Support Worker, you will manage building security and act as an initial contact for service users when on duty. You will support people to access other services which will benefit their physical, emotional and financial wellbeing and will support people to access meaningful and engaging activities both in their scheme and the local community.
You will be required to work between the hours of 1:30pm and 9:30pm.
Concierge Support Worker Duties:
- Managing building security and acting as an initial contact for service users when on duty
- Supporting individuals with the wide range of activities they enjoy at the service and within the Blackpool area, e.g. going out for meals, visiting the beach, gardening, having movie nights and playing board games
- Developing and sustaining warm and trusting relationships with service users
- Record keeping
- Supporting with home maintenance
- Carrying out some light cleaning duties
Although we value relevant experience of supporting people in a community-based service, you do not need to have prior experience if you can demonstrate a ‘can-do approach’, person-centred values, energy and commitment. You will have a strong work ethic and duty of care and be able to contribute to a positive team approach. You must be able to work independently.
Benefits of working with Creative Support:
- A one-off bonus of £100 upon successful completion of the 4-month probationary period

- Company paid enhanced DBS for all staff
