Female Assistant Support Worker - Ariadni

At Hightown, we`re a housing charity that builds homes and support people. In Crowthorne we provide high-quality care and support to adults with learning and physical disabilities.

We are looking for some great new Support Workers to join our team who have the right values, behaviours and attitudes to be the difference. We have a part time (22.5 & 30 hours) and full time (37.5 hours) vacancy.

Who we are looking for

We`re keen to recruit individuals who care regardless of qualifications or experience. We care more about you sharing and demonstrating our values, which are:

• Putting our residents and service users first
• Treating people with respect, promoting independence and choice
• Developing passionate and committed teams
• Being cost effective without compromising standards or safety

We will give you all the training and support you need to do the role including a qualification in health and social care, if you don`t already have one.

If you share our values, we`d love you to work for us.

You`ll be empowering our service users to lead the life they want and you`ll support them with their favourite music, aromatherapy and hydrotherapy sessions, going out for walks and swimming. You`ll join a strong, supportive team who are great communicators and able to engage with our residents who are mainly nonverbal. As part of the role you will be required to provide personal care and support with eating and drinking. It is a challenging but rewarding role where you can really be the difference to someone`s life.

If this sounds like the right opportunity for you or you want to have an informal chat, please contact us on 01442 292291or recruitment@hightownha.org.uk
