ABOUT THE ROLE:

We are looking for motivated, caring and compassionate people to join our Bank team of support staff in Alford. You will be delivering care and support to enhance the independence skills of people with learning disabilities, whilst giving them choice and control over their own lives. As well as supporting in the day-to-day aspects of daily life, you will support people to pursue their interests.
We welcome applications from people who work in other areas of the care sector (such as elderly care) or those with no experience of care. Your previous experience is not as important as sharing our values and being able to demonstrate them, as well your desire to make a difference to the lives of the people we support.
The role will involve:
· Supporting with activities such as swimming, biking, baking and trips to the cinema
· Organising leisure activities for the people you support
· Assisting and monitoring the people we support with their personal health and care needs
· Planning, purchasing and preparing meals
· The administration and recording of medication as per the medication system
· Informing the manager of any significant developments or concerns
· Arranging and accompanying the people we support to doctors, dentists and some social appointments as necessary
