Are you a compassionate, resilient, and dedicated individual looking to make a genuine difference in someone's life? Walsingham Support is seeking a female Support Worker to join a specialized 2:1 team in Egremont.
This is more than just a job; it's about building a relationship based on trust, helping a local woman with learning disabilities live her best, most independent life both at home and within her community.
The Role
You will be part of a dedicated duo providing high-quality, person-centered care. Your mission is to facilitate independence while ensuring a safe, supportive environment.
Community & Home Support: Accompanying the individual on outings, managing daily tasks, and encouraging hobbies.
Specialized Care: Because this is a 2:1 environment, you will work closely with a colleague to manage complex needs.
Positive Engagement: You will provide vital support with de-escalation techniques during moments when the individual feels heightened or overwhelmed.
Shift Pattern & Requirements
We are looking for someone with full-time availability who is happy to match the client's bespoke rota needs.
Day Shift: 08:00 - 20:00
Sleep-in: Following the day shift
Morning Finish: 07:00 - 10:30 the following day
- Driving: Must hold a full, valid UK driving license and be comfortable driving the client to community activities and appointments.
Competitive Pay Rates
Weekdays: £13.68 per hour
Weekends: £15.77 per hour
Sleep-ins: £64.98 per night
About You
You don't necessarily need a lifetime of experience, but you do need the right heart. We are looking for:
Resilience: The ability to stay calm and use de-escalation skills under pressure.
Empathy: A deep understanding of learning disabilities and a commitment to dignity.
Reliability: Our client relies on a consistent team to feel secure.
Gender Requirement: This is a female-only position due to the personal nature of the support required (permitted under the Equality Act 2010).
