Support Worker

Trosolwg o'r swydd

We are really excited to be expanding our team so that we can support more children and their families at home. By providing support to Children and young people in their own homes, it enables parents/carers to get a good night’s sleep.

The shifts are mainly at night 2200-0700 but staff are expected to attend training/ meetings during the hours of 0900-1700 as well.

The role does involve being trained in a variety of clinical skills but you will be given training to achieve all the clinical skills.  We offer a individualised induction programme to ensure that all new starters are supported to be confident and competent with each skill.  If you do not currently have the clinical experience but have transferrable skills do get in touch to  find out more.

Team members provide clinical care into children's homes to allow parents to take a break from their caring responsibilities

We have in excess of 5000 staff working over 50 sites, providing a diverse range of services. We strive to support an organisational culture that is welcoming, builds and celebrates inclusivity and diversity and provides a sense of belonging and trust. 

The annual NHS Staff Survey  gives our people the opportunity to tell us about their experience working at the Trust.  For the 2023 survey just over 2800 colleagues gave us their views (58.5%).   It was great to see from the results that colleagues are saying that:

• 89.7% believe they are making a positive difference to patients/service users; 
• 73.3% would recommend the organisation as a place to work; 
• 82.4% agree that care of patients and service users is the organisations priority;
• 76.7% would be happy with the standard of care for a friend or relative     

Our results put us as 5th nationally as a Community, Mental Health and Learning Disabilities NHS Employer of Choice and 1st equal amongst all NHS Provider Trusts in the South West. However, we know we have more to do and will continue to drive forward our commitment to making GHC a Great Place to Work.
