Creative Support is a national, fast-growing not-for-profit organisation providing support to individuals with a wide range of care needs. We are currently seeking highly motivated Support Workers to join our friendly service in Morecambe.

We are looking for respectful, warm and enthusiastic individuals to work in our Morecambe service that provides person-centred support to individuals who have a learning disability and live in supported housing. Some of the people we support may also have a range of additional support needs including mobility and health issues. Additionally, the people we support enjoy a wide range activities, including going to the gym and on days out. Days are rarely the same, and the support we provide is life-changing, so this is a rewarding and exciting career opportunity.

We offer an empowering model of support which enables people to lead fulfilling and happy lives, participate in their local community, develop independent living skills and achieve their personal goals and desired outcomes. As well as providing direct care and support, you will have the opportunity to act as a Key Worker supporting people to achieve their dreams and ambitions.

Support Worker Duties
  • Providing personal care to service users,
  • Shift work including evenings, weekends and bank holidays,
  • Medication administration,
  • Developing and sustaining warm and trusting relationships with service users,
  • Promoting choice and supporting service users to make their own decisions,
  • Supporting individuals to access their own community, e.g. going to the pub, gym and on days out,
  • Carrying out general administrative duties and supporting with domestic tasks.

Although we value relevant experience of supporting people with a learning disability, you do not need to have prior experience if you can demonstrate a ‘can-do approach’, person-centred values, compassion and commitment. You should be reliable and dependable, as consistency allows our service users to feel safe. You should also have a positive outlook on life and a fun personality. You will have a strong work ethic and duty of care, and be able to contribute to a positive team approach.

The service locations are convenient for those relying on public transport, as they are close to bus stops.
