Overview

Radis Community Care has an opportunity for a part‑time Support Worker to join our Extra Care team based in Huntley Place in Reading RG2 6AR
. Huntley Place, located in Reading, Berkshire, has 73 apartments designed to help local residents aged 55 and over retain as much independence and control as possible. Residents benefit from easy access to nearby shops and restaurants, and can enjoy their social pursuits in a safe and secure environment, with on‑site facilities including a communal lounge, dining room, laundry, guest facilities, garden, activities room and hairdressing salon.

Our carers strive to help people we support retain as much independence as possible, for as long as possible and are on‑site 24/7. Support is tailored to the needs of each person, provided within the comfort and privacy of their own flat and can range from a little help daily to support throughout the day and night.

The role will require you to assist people we support with personal care activities such as washing, personal hygiene and dressing. You will have the opportunity to take part in physical and mental stimulation by taking part in recreational and social activities, both individually and as a group. The role is to promote independence, choice, dignity and respect by delivering the best standards of care.

At this present time, we are unable to consider sponsorship or switches for this role.
