Job Description

Are you a naturally empathetic, caring and compassionate Support Worker in the UK with experience of caring for people with Learning Disabilities?

Do you want a fulfilling career, where you can make a difference and change lives for the better in a culture of kindness and teamwork? Where you’ll be supported with development opportunities to grow you as a person and in your career?

Join Ranworth House in Eastbourne as a Support Worker and provide care for people with Learning Disabilities, Autism and behaviours may be seen as challenging; where you’ll support and encourage them to lead a full and valued life, enabling them to live more independently.

You’ll be great with people – a real ‘people person’, able to communicate effectively – explaining yourself clearly in the right tone to suit the situation and be really good at understanding others (behaviours and expressions, as well as vocal). Having a good sense of humour and resilience, and a willingness to help residents with their personal hygiene are also important.

What you will be doing

It can be quite a challenging environment at times, so a positive attitude, compassion, resilience and vigilance are important. But it is hugely rewarding to see people improve because of you; being able to do something today that they couldn’t do last week.

Working 35 hours per week, shift patterns are 7:30-2:30pm & 2:30pm- 9:30pm on a rota basis including weekends.
