Up to 37.5 hours per week ¦ Full and part-time opportunities

Do you want to make a real difference every day?

Are you an experienced Support Worker or care professional ready to take the next step in your career?

At Stockdales, you'll support people with learning and physical disabilities, including people with complex health needs, to live full, active and meaningful lives.

We're a charity with over 70 years' experience, and we're proud to create an environment where the people we support can enjoy life, try new things and be as independent as possible.

And that means your days are anything but ordinary.

You could be supporting someone with their personal care in the morning, heading out into the community in the afternoon, and helping them enjoy an activity, day trip or new experience later that day.

Our activities include swimming, trips to the seaside, museums, sensory walks, activity breaks and holidays in the UK and abroad.

What you'll be doing

As a Care Practitioner, you'll:

Provide dignified, person-centred personal care and support in line with individual support plans.
Support individuals with health care needs and complete health care procedures following appropriate training and guidance.
Promote independence, self-help skills, community involvement and positive outcomes.
Recognise and appropriately respond to distressed behaviour, safeguarding concerns and changes in health or wellbeing.
Support colleagues, including staff who are new to the role or completing their probation.
Take on Shift Leader responsibilities when required, including delegating duties, supporting medication and stores processes, liaising with families and professionals, and escalating concerns appropriately.

You'll be supported throughout your development, with comprehensive induction, refresher training and opportunities to complete relevant professional qualifications such as an RQF/NVQ Level 2 or 3.

About you

You'll ideally have at least one year's experience in care and be ready to take on more responsibility and lead shifts.

Most importantly, you'll be caring, reliable and passionate about supporting people to live the lives they choose.

You'll also need to:

Be flexible to work evenings, weekends and bank holidays.
Be comfortable working as part of a team and taking responsibility when required.
Have basic IT skills, including Microsoft Word and email.
Have good English reading and writing skills and basic numeracy.
Be physically able to carry out the role, including using hoists and pushing wheelchairs.

The role is subject to a satisfactory Enhanced DBS check, references and successful completion of a 6-month probationary period, as well as all required training.

What we offer

We want our staff to feel valued, supported and able to develop their careers with us. In return, you'll receive:

A competitive salary
Enhanced pay for bank holidays and on call
Excellent internal and external training offered
Comprehensive induction and ongoing training
Mileage paid for travel during work hours
28 days holiday per year pro rata inclusive of bank holidays
Increased holiday entitlement with service

Why Stockdales?

Because this is more than a care job.

You'll build relationships, develop your skills and help people do things that matter to them. Whether that's supporting someone to become more independent, enjoying a day out, trying a new activity or simply having a really good day - you'll know you've made a difference.

If you're ready to take the next step in your care career, we'd love to hear from you.
