About the Role
Would you like to be part of an elite team that supports people, either in their own homes or supported living?
We provide care for people with autism, learning difficulties, and complex care needs, and we’re seeking dynamic support staff who are enthusiastic, flexible, hard-working, and committed to making a difference.
While full training in complex care will be provided, prior experience is a plus. Both full-time and part-time positions are available.
All our staff complete a mixture of face-to-face and online training. All our training is accredited, and you can rest assured that when you use our staff, they are fully qualified and trained to the same standard as your own team.
What does it entail?
On a daily basis, you can expect to help clients with anything from getting dressed and maintaining good personal hygiene to cooking, cleaning, monitoring their health, and updating records.
The clients you will be responsible for as a TAO Support Worker will likely need round-the-clock care, so there is plenty of opportunity for you to work flexibly. The variety of clients, personalities, and different care needs will always keep you on your toes and make the job interesting.
Is this for Me?
A huge part of being a support worker is being able to offer emotional support to your clients, which requires you to have a sociable, friendly and attentive attitude towards them and an ability to offer engaging conversation. The TAO Support Workers should work with the upmost respect for the people you care for, in a way that avoids them feeling uncomfortable or undignified at any point.
What do you need to work as a Support Worker with TAO?
Alongside having the right personal attributes and a genuine passion for helping others, we require the following from all our support worker candidates:
- 3 months UK paid previous care industry experience within the last 5 years
- Enhanced Adult & Child Workforce DBS (either processed with TAO or on the Update Service)
- A minimum of 2 satisfactory references
- Mandatory training dated within the last 12 months
What Are The Benefits Of Working With TAO?
As a TAO Care Assistant, we will invest in you, and spend time fostering the type of supportive and trusting relationship that we believe everyone deserves from their agency.
Not only that but we also offer our Care Assistants a huge range of fantastic benefits as a reward for working with us. To know more about them, head over to our Benefits page.
