Phoenix Therapy and Care provides bespoke support services to children and adults affected by illness, injury and disability. Our current Care Inspectorate rating is ‘very good’ and we pride ourselves on person-centred, empowering and positive values.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and committed Support Worker who has the ability to adapt to working in a family home. Are you compassionate, patient, friendly and empathetic? Are you the kind of person who wants to add real value to someone’s life? Do you have excellent communication skills, tact and diplomacy? If this sounds like you, we have an interesting opportunity for you to develop your clinical skills and experience.

You will join an established team of Support Workers providing high quality, bespoke, complex care and support to a gentleman who sustained a high level spinal injury over two years ago. He has significant care needs including tracheostomy and ventilator management. We are seeking someone who not only cares passionately about delivering excellent care, but who thrives in an open and collaborative environment. There is a robust training and supervision programme in place and the successful candidate will be fully supported in learning all aspects of this job.

We welcome candidates with a holistic approach to care. You will have a calm, positive disposition and sense of humour. You will have the ability to work sensitively in the homecare environment and work harmoniously with our service user, his family and your colleagues.

Our Service User requires 24 hour care, including waking nights. Shifts are 12 hours long. We offer a permanent contract, with paid holidays and training, working either part-time or full-time. Due to the complexity of the care, two members of staff work together on shift.

You'll find job details and a job application pack attached. Please email applications to recruitment@phoenixtherapyandcare.co.uk. Get in touch if you have any questions or would like to discuss job options and opportunities - we are happy to help! We look forward to hearing from you.
