F/T Learning Disability Support Worker Blyth

We are looking for an inspirational Learning Disability Support Worker to join our Staff Team at Journey Blyth.

Based out of the Annex in the Buffalo Community Centre, our Staff Team of Learning Disability Support Workers and Specialists (Work Coaches and Health & Wellbeing Coach) support adults with intellectual (learning) disability to develop independent living and work skills, and to manage their health & wellbeing.

Learning Disability Support Workers develop and deliver activities sessions for both Day Services and our projects.  Two sessions are delivered daily in small groups of Clients (service users).  Learning Disability Support Workers focus on independent living and the first stages of work skills, all Clients now completing ASDAN qualifications.

We welcome colleagues from a wide range of backgrounds to join our Staff Team.  You will join colleagues who have worked within the  Armed Forces, Creative and Performing Arts, Education, Health, Industry, Marketing, Retail, Social Work, Sports and Transportation services amongst others.

If you do not already hold your NVQ in Health & Social Care this is a key requirement of the role, as is wider training provided both by Journey and external Providers we commission.   Learning Disability Support Workers must complete a Level 2, Seniors a Level 3 and Managers a Level 5.

Since a significant ratio of our activities are delivered in the wider community the ability to drive a minibus is therefore essential for this role.
