Care Support Worker

Carers Wanted

Day shift plus bank shifts.

Cusworth/Scawsby area.

Are you passionate about helping people? Would you love the opportunity to make a real difference in someone’s life?

If the answer is yes, then let me introduce myself.

Hi,

I’m a fiercely independent woman with a high level of intelligence and a personality to match! Unfortunately, I also live with chronic health conditions which affect me every single day.

Please believe me when I say this is far from the life I imagined for myself. No one wants to wake up bed\-bound, in excruciating pain, or not knowing whether they are going to feel paralysed within their own body for days at a time.

But despite everything, I’m hopeful.

With the right support around me, I want to regain some elements of normality and, most importantly, be empowered to live the best life I possibly can.

I’m really keen to rediscover some of the things I love. I want to explore my passion for painting, get back into the kitchen and cook for my family, and enjoy more of the things that make me me.

I can also be cheeky, mischievous and a little bit of a troublemaker…

I solemnly swear I am up to no good!

So, could you be the person who helps me reignite my life?

I’m looking for someone who can provide excellent care and support while encouraging me to remain as independent as possible. Someone who can adapt to my changing needs, use their initiative, have a good sense of humour and, most importantly, treat me with dignity, respect and kindness.

If that sounds like you, I’d love to hear from you!

Key responsibilities:

Every day can be different, so flexibility and the ability to adapt are important.

Your role would include:

Providing personal care with dignity, respect and compassion

Offering emotional and practical support tailored to my daily needs

Supporting me to move safely and comfortably around my home

Encouraging and supporting me to maintain my independence

Helping me to enjoy hobbies and activities that are important to me

Preparing and cooking nutritious meals

Completing household duties to help maintain a clean, comfortable and welcoming home

Adapting to the varied nature of my health conditions with patience, flexibility and understanding

Supporting me with telephone calls and communication when needed

Attending appointments with me and advocating for me where required

Supporting and advocating for me within medical settings

Completing accurate and appropriate record keeping

Working alongside the rest of my support team to provide consistent and person\-centred care

What am I looking for in my support team?

Previous experience as a personal assistant/support worker is desirable but not essential as all training will be provided.

Good IT skills are useful, along with a willingness to learn new systems and

equipment where required.

Driving is preferred but not essential.

I’m looking for someone who is:

Kind, positive and approachable

Someone with a good sense of humour, a positive attitude and a genuine desire to help another person.

Confident and willing to use their initiative

Calm and patient

My health can be unpredictable, so being able to remain calm, whilst under pressure is important.

Someone patient and understanding when things don't go to plan

Reliable and dependable

I need a team I can trust to provide consistent and reliable support.

Flexible

My needs can change from one day to the next, so being adaptable and flexible with working hours is important.

A good communicator

Excellent communication and active listening skills are essential, both when

working with me and as part of my wider support team.

Discreet and respectful

My privacy is incredibly important. You will be expected to maintain confidentiality

and follow all relevant data protection requirements.

Most importantly, I want someone who sees me as a person first, not just someone they

are there to care for.
