We are looking for compassionate individuals to join our dedicated supported living team. If you would like a rewarding role supporting individuals who have learning disabilities and autism to achieve their life goals and join the local community then we would love to hear from you.

Your Support Worker role would include:

• Supporting service users inside their home and in the Hartlepool community
• Supporting service users to retain their independence
• Engaging in activities with the tenants using both verbal and non-verbal communication
• Collaborating with service users, family members and other involved professionals to provide excellent person-centred care for service users
• Working as part of a team and independently across our supported living services
• Administering medication, providing respectful personal care and helping service users retain their dignity at all times
• Some service administration tasks which will require basic computer knowledge

Experience of working with people who have learning disabilities and/or autism is beneficial but not essential for this Support Worker role as you will be provided with full training for the role, with excellent staff teams that support each other across the Hartlepool services. A car driver is preferred for this role but not essential as the services are located within walking distance of each other and are on a good bus route.

You will be supporting service users in their own homes. Our service users enjoy a variety of activities, such as going for drives, movie nights and going to the pub! You will support our service users to access the community, maintain housework and live an enjoyable and independent life.
