Rose Court provides assessment and support for up to 10 adults and may vary with learning disabilities, mental health conditions or autism. Some also have communication difficulties or present behaviours that challenge, as well as other associated diagnoses such as Epilepsy.
As a support worker, you will have the opportunity to be part of a great team and deliver an exceptional level of care and support for our residents. You will be supporting our residents with their day to day lives, encouraging them to live as independently as possible. You may get involved in exciting activities outside of the home too – our residents participate in day trips, leisure, shopping and much more!
Whilst it's preferable that you have experience doing this, it's not essential. What is necessary is that you're an excellent communicator. You're good at speaking and listening and can build strong relationships with our residents and their families. You can resolve problems, work in a safe and compliant manner, keep records up-to-date and follow basic instructions to support our residents' well-being and comfort. Always patient and flexible, you understand and respect the fact that individuals have individual needs.
