 Relief posts Mencap Supported Living services - Omagh

Are you the type of person that thrives when helping others to achieve something new or to build their independence? Do you consider yourself reliable, enthusiastic and forward thinking? We are looking for proactive and passionate people to join our team of support workers working in our supported living services.

You must be able to demonstrate a real commitment to Mencap and the work we do alongside the wonderful people we support. We are looking for people with a ‘can-do’ attitude who are strongly motivated, outgoing, caring and have a calm demeanour when needed. You will be working as part of a team to help the tenants with behaviour support, personal care, washing, dressing, doing their housework, cooking, banking, attending appointments, shopping, attending work or day opportunities, cooking, banking, accompanying to appointments, socialising.

We aim to provide consistent, positive support to all individuals and a patient, resilient approach will go a long way! This role has a unique set of challenges. 

As a support worker, flexibility is key for both yourself and for the service, as you may be required to work a variety of different shifts throughout the week, including mornings (ideal for you early risers!), evenings, sleep-ins and waking nights.  (Payment for sleep ins is competitive and compliant with National Living Wage requirements). The best thing about flexibility? It's a two-way street. While we may require that you work a variety of shifts, we also understand that you’ll have your own requirements – have you got commitments on a Thursday? Not to worry, we can factor this in, as well as other requests (provided you give us enough notice) into our rotas. We have a number of part time and full time posts available. 

An enhanced disclosure check and registration with NISCC will be required if successful.
