SUPPORT WORKER

LOCATION: Nottingham
SALARY: A competitive rate of up to £13 per hour
HOURS: Part time and full time work available
At Gregory Court we provide accommodation and support for people with complex and high dependency needs, giving independence and lifestyle choices for adults with physical disabilities. We support people with a range of disabilities including cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis and disabilities resulting from stroke or an accident.
We will train you to provide personalised support to our adult residents. You will follow individual support plans to meet the needs and aspirations of each person. The focus is developing independent living skills: personal hygiene, meal preparation, exercise, leisure activities, socialising – the daily routine of regular life.
You’ll get huge job satisfaction from seeing the people you are supporting do more for themselves and live the life they want to live. If you’re interested in building a career, we’re here to support you all the way on your own journey.
You do not need experience in care or support roles, just enthusiasm and a passion for helping people – we provide a full induction and specialist training and coaching.
Supporting brain injury rehabilitation is different to other kinds of support work. You’re there to encourage and guide individuals, helping them regain the skills and confidence to live independently.
