Form of work
SalarySDR Care is a growing business with care homes situated on the South Coast. We pride ourselves on investing in our people and we are committed to the UK Living Wage Foundation. We aim to continuously train and develop our staff to enable them to reach their full potential within our collaborative and supportive team.
An exciting opportunity has become available to join our team of Support Workers at one of our homes in Bishopstoke, Eastleigh. The homes specialise in person-centred care for people with learning difficulties and autism.
Applicants might have experience of working in a similar environment, but this is not essential as training will be provided. You will be a great addition to the team if you enjoy working and interacting with people, have the right personality and share the same values as us. We are looking for people who are enthusiastic, effective communicators, with high standards of care, and who are sensitive to the needs of people with learning disabilities.
The home is a vibrant residential home that caters for up to five individuals with autism. Our mission is to empower our residents to lead independent, fulfilling, and enjoyable lives. As a member of our dedicated support team, you’ll play a crucial role in achieving this goal.
You will support individuals to engage in diverse activities, from accompanying people on shopping trips to enjoying leisure pursuits like bowling, cinema outings, and golf. Your days will always be dynamic and rewarding.
During the week, we encourage residents to explore their interests and passions. Whether it’s going for a swim or a visit to family members, you’ll be there to provide guidance and support. At the weekends, we often host or participate in social gatherings for friends and families, we explore car-boot sales, attend local community events, and take time to prepare Sunday’s big roast dinner.
Our days are consistently busy, filled with enjoyment, and never dull!
Working hours are 37 hours per week, on a rotational shift pattern. This will be a varied shift pattern including weekdays and weekends; a flexible approach to work is essential. Part-time may be considered for the right applicant.
Our Values form an integral part of our business and as such we would seek applicants that can demonstrate:
Kindness, Dignity & Respect
Integral to the culture of our Company; treat people with kindness, dignity, and respect then our work will be rewarding and fulfilling.
Calmness
Every decision we make is better when made with a calm and composed approach; calmness helps us to manage the challenges and demands we face.
Creativity
Embrace creativity to find innovative solutions in our work.
Responsibility
Take responsibility for our own actions, attitude, impact, and career development.
