Support Worker - Sheffield (S13)

We are looking for a fun-loving person to join our brilliant team supporting 2 gentlemen in their 60's & 70's, who live in their own home in Sheffield.

There is personal care, sleep duties, moving and handling (wheelchair users) and both gentlemen are non-verbal. They have their own mobility vehicles, so this role is driver essential. They love getting out into the community, going for walks, music, tv/film, going on holidays and day trips. How will I make a difference? As a support worker you'll be there to lend a helping hand in a way that puts the person's needs first, this means:

• You will adapt your support to fit what each person needs and wants daily.
• You will encourage people to make their own choices, big and small.
• You will help people to do things themselves to be as independent as possible.
• You will support people to build confidence and life skills.
• You will support people to be a part of their community, joining local clubs and connecting with friends and family.
• You will be understanding, allowing people to take their time and do things at their own pace.
• You will celebrate people's achievements, no matter how small they might seem to others.
What benefits will I have? We have a range of benefits that you can mix and match to suit you, such as:
• Care Friends - our employee referral and reward app. You'll receive points which can be exchanged for extra money.
• Wagestream - an app that gives you access to a percentage of your pay as you earn it, access to coaching, vouchers, discounts, cashback and more.

• Simply Health - Fully funded health cash plans giving you access to a 24-hour GP, money back on prescriptions, dental treatment, opticians and access to many more health benefits.
• Vivup - spread the cost of home and electronics items, or a bike to cycle to work through fixed salary reductions throughout the year.
