Support Worker 

Create a world without dementia 

Our client is the UK's leading dementia charity. They provide information and support, improve care, fund research, and create lasting change for people affected by dementia. 

Position: Home Support Worker RS 
Location: Swansea, Neath Port Talbot 
Contract type: Part time, Permanent 
Hours: 10 to 20 per week (variable) 
Salary: £5,017 to £10,034 actual per annum (depending on hours worked) 

Closing date: 5pm on Thursday 16th August. 
Interview date: Thursday 23rd August 

About the role: 

They are currently looking for a Home Support Worker (Registered Service) in Swansea for 15-20 hours per week to provide support for people with dementia in their own homes. 

Our client provides practical services and support for people with dementia and their carers - and they are now looking for an experienced care worker with the expertise to support people in their own homes and contribute to achieving their vision of a world without dementia. 

As Home Support Worker you will provide both practical care and emotional support to your own caseload of clients, tailoring everything you do to the reasonable wishes of the person with dementia and their carers. 

In addition to developing individual care plans, for example, you will engage clients in a range of stimulating activities, help them with domestic tasks and explore ways to maintain their life skills and fulfil their potential. They will also rely on you to conduct risk assessments and submit reports after each visit, and – as part of their wider local team - you will attend staff meetings, training sessions and case reviews where appropriate. 

About you: 

To meet these challenges, you must have an NVQ Level 2 in Health and Social Care or be prepared to work towards it once you join them. 
Experience in a care environment is essential, and your good understanding of dementia and the needs of people affected by it will be supported by knowledge of relevant legislation. 
You will certainly know how to evaluate and assess individual needs, and you must be able to work flexible hours and travel independently within the service area. Add to that your empathy and excellent communication skills and you will quickly establish yourself as a vital member of their team. 

If you have the qualities they’re looking for and are passionate about improving the quality of life for people with dementia you will quickly establish yourself as a valued member of their team. 

Their employees work hard every day to make a true difference in people's lives. They are proud to support them with a range of benefits, recognition and many options for working agilely. All contributing to a strong work life balance. 

They also have various learning programmes to support you in your development and help you grow to realise your potential and shape a career with the Society. 

Our client is committed to equal opportunities. 

You may have experience of the following: Support Worker, Home Support Worker, Day Support Worker, Social Care, Dementia Support Worker, Social Worker, Community Care, Care Assistant, Support Assistant, Healthcare Assistant, Care Worker, Mental Health, Dementia, etc.
