Job description

Support Worker - Choppington

Are you compassionate with a desire to make an everlasting impact on the lives of others?

Lifeways – Specialist Support Services serving your local community

Are you looking for a career that transforms lives for the better? Do you have a passion to make a real impact in your local community? Lifeways offers genuine, rewarding career progression and investment in recognised qualifications. We are the UK’s largest supported living healthcare provider and have been proudly supporting communities since 1995.

The Lifeways Group in Choppington is currently looking to expand their team of Support Workers in our local residential services.

The property has been split into two separate bungalows, joined by a corridor and sharing a utility room. Flax One has five bedrooms, while Flax Two has four. Both bungalows have one bathroom with a shower over the high-low bath, overhead tracking, and an accessible toilet.

Flax One features a kitchen, an open-plan dining and living room, and an accessible toilet. Flax Two includes a kitchen, a dining room, a living room, a laundry room, and an accessible toilet.

Flax Cottages also has two accessible gardens with patios—one for each bungalow. Residents enjoy spending time outdoors when the weather is good and often gather for BBQs. Assistive technology can be tailored to meet each individual's needs. The property offers level access, and Flax One has widened doors for wheelchair access.

You might be an enthusiastic person with patience, seeking a career change to bring new life and experiences into our service, or an experienced Support Worker with a background in complex emotional or behavioural settings looking for a change and eager to make a difference for two young people with complex needs, helping them find new opportunities both at home and in the community.

We provide a fully paid induction, ongoing training, and support from a dedicated manager. There is also an opportunity to undertake a funded qualification in health and social care through Lifeways Group, plus many more benefits when you join.

Our support is based on person-centred principles, promoting development and inclusion in daily life within the home and wider community. Each service user has their own self-contained room, and your work will be varied, including activities like swimming, shopping, going for coffee, visiting the cinema, zoos, and clubs.

You will support service users with household chores such as cooking, laundry, vacuuming, and dusting, and in some cases, personal care tasks like bathing, toileting, and feeding.
