Support Worker | Manor View, Manorhamilton, Co. Leitrim
What’s the Role: Support Worker
What It Takes:
An important part of the staff role is to support our service users who have complex needs and help them to manage their emotions. The ability to be resilient, to communicate effectively and to utilise a variety of communication tools is essential.
Our dedicated staff team supports our service users to learn and develop their independence skills which includes tasks such as shopping, cleaning their flat, personal care, accessing the community, budgeting, and taking medication. Each staff member has something to bring to the role, and we encourage staff to use their humour, sense of fun, and creativity in supporting our service users with day-to-day life.
The role involves shift work, and as such, flexibility to work a combination of early shifts, late shifts, and weekends is essential. Availability to do two sleep-over shifts per month is required.
