Relief Support Worker

Creative Support is a not-for-profit provider of care and support to people with a wide range of needs including learning disabilities, mental health needs, autism spectrum conditions and older people. We are recruiting Relief Support Workers for our community and residential services in Northampton and surrounding areas.

We are looking for warm, dedicated and enthusiastic individuals who are committed to providing person centred support to people with learning disabilities. Your role will include:

– Providing respectful personal care, practical and emotional support to service users
– Maximising service user outcomes by working towards greater independence and social inclusion
– Involving service users in decisions about the care and support they receive and their lives
– Collaborating with service users, families and involved professionals to provide a consistent service that best meets the needs and preferences of service users

It is expected that you will work flexibly, including evenings and weekends, to meet the needs of the Northampton service. You will have a warm, caring nature, and a commitment to making a positive difference in people’s lives.

As a Creative Support Relief Support Worker bank member you will have access to our free app which allows you to pick up shifts in Northampton and any area of the country, provides information on the service and shifts as well as directions. You will be paid on a weekly basis.

We are a passionate, inclusive and anti-racist organisation. We embrace diversity and encourage applicants from all backgrounds and cultures. As a Disability Confident Employer we welcome applications from people with a disability, and as a proud Stonewall Diversity Champion we actively encourage applications from the LGBT+ community.
We will be interviewing for this role as suitable applications are received and may close this role before the closing date upon a successful candidate being appointed.
