Responsibilities

As a Support Worker, you will be working as part of a focused team in maintaining the personal care needs of our residents, respecting their dignity and promoting their independence at all times. You will also ensure that our care services are of a consistently high standard and help in caring for our residents, and undertake other general day-to-day activities in our home.
(https://kingsleyspecialistservices.co.uk/)Kingsley Specialist Services provides support for people with learning disabilities and complex needs, including those who would benefit from living in a more peaceful setting.
We successfully meet those needs by delivering the positive behaviour support (PBS) model of care, which is at the core of all we do. The PBS values include person-centred care, promoting choice and independence, participation and inclusion. This approach must be applied to all the people we support to empower them to live a meaningful and happy life, within an environment which grows and adapts with each individual.
We endeavour to understand what the person is communicating and respond in a proactive way to meet their needs, as well as offering an alternative behaviour, thereby reducing the likelihood of behaviours of concern or distress. You will be role modelling this approach and supporting staff to apply PBS in all they do.
