Bank Support Worker
SKILLS
FULL DESCRIPTION
Leonards Croft are looking to recruit Bank Support Workers to join the team.
We are located in Stafford. We provide residential support for eight males and females who are autistic or have a learning disability, or both. The service is off a busy main road, around 15 minutes from the town centre.
What you'll be doing
You will be part of a compassionate team who are committed to our residents wellbeing. We take a personalised approach, using proven therapies to help people move forward with confidence and build a healthier, more fulfilling future. As a Bank Support Worker you will play a key part in their recovery, assisting qualified staff with the assessment and implementation of individual patient care plans, undertaking routine tasks and activities as directed or delegated to facilitate wellbeing, dignity and treatment of residents.
- Assist residents with daily living tasks (e.g., personal care, meal preparation, medication reminders)
- Promote independence and encourage decision-making skills
- Support residents in participating in community activities and social events
What you'll bring to the role
Our work is rewarding but can be challenging, so resilience is key. No two days are the same! Your natural empathy will help you support others through both the highs and lows.
Experience working with individuals who have learning disabilities, autism, mental health conditions, or similar needs is essential. The role requires encouraging independence and supporting the development of life skills, alongside familiarity with health and safety practices in a care setting. Additionally, experience working as part of a multidisciplinary team is important, as is a basic knowledge of safeguarding and confidentiality principles.
