Senior Support Workers

Positive Futures is the leading charity for people with a learning disability, acquired brain injury or autistic spectrum condition and their families

Supported Living offers the people we support the opportunity to live where and how they choose – in a home of their own or with people they choose to live with. We work with housing providers to make this possible.

Houses are based in local communities and our teams of Support Workers follow individuals’ support plans to provide people with the type of support they need during the day and, if necessary, at night. This means that the people we support can do things in their local community – like going to the leisure centre, using the bus, shopping and going to church – and do as much as they can for themselves, like cooking, shopping, budgeting and personal care.

Shortlisting Criteria:

1.    At least 1 years’ paid experience of supporting people with learning disabilities and / or autistic spectrum conditions and / or acquired brain injury within a Health and Social Care setting

2.    Experience of:

•       assessment, development and implementation of Person Centered Care / Support Plans

•       using behaviour management strategies

•       assessing / managing risk

•       working as part of a team within a Health and Social Care setting

3.   Proficient in using standard office IT applications such as Microsoft Word, Excel and Outlook

If you can provide a commitment to put the people we support first, we can give you:

• A competitive salary
• 4% employer pension contribution
• Generous holiday allowance, increasing with length of service
• Enhanced sickness and maternity / paternity pay
• Loyalty benefits
• Perks discount card
