Support Worker

21 hours per week

The Adelaide Resource Centre in Ryde is looking for a Support Worker to join us to deliver outstanding reablement support alongside crisis and planned short stay care to the 23 people who use our services.

You will work directly with the people staying at the home to identify and achieve their own goals and help them on their journey to independence. The role is a rewarding, dynamic and versatile and as a casual Support Worker, you will be able to choose shifts to meet your needs. You will be working with individuals and other colleagues ensuring the service we offer is effective to meet people’s needs in a ‘do with’ way rather than A ‘do for’.

We will provide you with unrivalled support through supervision and a fantastic learning and development offer. If you have a Level 2 Diploma in Health and Social Care, that’s great but if not, we will help you achieve it.

A good knowledge of literacy and numeracy is also essential but again, we can help you there if you need it.

For further information, please contact the Adelaide on 01983 568621 and request to speak to the Deputy or Registered Manager. Alternatively, you can email caroline.king@iow.gov.uk
