I am looking for a committed Support Worker to join the team in a care home for adults with mental health and learning disabilities with complex and challenging needs in Rainworth. The project is a step-down service for adults that have been discharged from long term admissions in psychiatric units.

  • Administering medications
  • Helping the service users to access work, education or training
  • Supporting service users to live as independently as possible

For this role you must have:

  • Previous experience of working with adults, preferably those with social, emotional and mental health disorders
  • Patience and understanding to be able to nurture challenging behaviour in the right way
  • Great communication skills
  • The ability to work varied shifts on a rota basis which includes early and late shifts, weekends, bank holidays, night working and sleep-ins. Core shift times include 7am – 2.30pm, 2pm – 10pm, 10pm – 7am. You will receive a bonus for waking night shifts and an allowance is paid for sleep-ins
