We are looking for caring, compassionate and hands on people to join our team at 77 Flaxman Ave, Short Break Service for adults with a Learning/Physical Disability and/or Autism.

Flaxman Avenue is a six bedded homely environment where our customers can come for a short stay tailored to meet their needs.

Our aim is to give the people you will be supporting as much control over their own lives as possible.

This is a responsible role which is really varied, and extremely rewarding. You will need to have good organisational skills and be able to work as part of a Team as well as being able to use your own initiative. This post will include split shifts, weekend work and covering sleep ins when needed.

On a daily basis, you may be involved in supporting with the following activities:

• Personal care tasks to meet individual care needs.
• Managing finances, if required
• Supporting with medication
• Moving and positioning
• Supporting wheelchair users
• Shopping, outings, and socialising if required.
• Supporting service users with complex health care needs
• Meal prep, supporting people to eat their meals if required
• Cleaning and laundry.

The role of Support Worker is an invaluable one: it is rewarding, complex and challenging and you will play an essential role in providing support and direct care to adults with Learning Disability and/or Autism who may display behaviours that challenge.

As part of your role you may be asked to work across other Learning Disability Services, building based. Care experience, whether it be caring for a family member or professionally along with compassion and integrity to treat people with dignity and respect is desirable but not essential as Care Certificate training will be available along with the opportunity to work towards level 2/3 qualification in care if you do not already have one.

You will be supported by a line manager, have a thorough induction into your role and also have opportunities for supervision, training and development reviews to support you in the work that you do.

As this role is public facing, applicants will need to demonstrate, at interview, their competency to converse and provide advice and guidance to members of the public, in spoken English to CEFR level C2: Can express themselves spontaneously at length with a natural conversational flow, avoiding or backtracking around any difficulty so smoothly that the person with whom they are conversing is hardly aware of it.

City of York Council is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expects all employees and volunteers to share this commitment. We require the successful candidate to undertake an enhanced Criminal Record check via the Disclosure and Barring Service.

The Council is committed to investing in the talent and wellbeing of our staff and can offer a generous annual leave allowance, access to the Local Government Pension Scheme, comprehensive Health & Wellbeing initiatives and a reward package which recognises your contribution. We can offer flexible working practices, community engagement and volunteer activities and, as part of our commitment to you, promote continuous Learning & Development. In addition we also offer a growing range of discounts, rewards and savings.
