Job Description

Support Worker

Nottingham, Linby

£24,871 - £25,371 per annum

Do you have experience in hospitality or customer service? Would you like to make a real difference in the community away from the noises of the city, surrounded by a bed of greenery?

If so, we have a fantastic opportunity for you to join our Sherwood House team as a Support Worker

Please note that we are not currently offering visa sponsorships.

The Service

Sherwood House is a registered care home which runs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We provide person-centred care and support to 19 elderly residents who have chosen this home as their place to retire and live happily ever after. Like them, you will also feel a change of pace thanks to the home’s scenery, as it is situated in the small village of Linby who won Nottinghamshire's "best kept village" award in 2013. A local tale recounts that the humble pancake was invented by the women of Linby to celebrate the defeat of Danish invaders.

Working Hours

All successful candidates will be required to work on a rota basis over a 24-hour period, including weekends and bank holidays; a bonus is paid for waking nights. Shift Patterns include: 07:00-15:00, 08:00-13:00, 08:30-12:30, 13:30-21:30, 07:00-14:30, 14:00-21:15, and 21:15- 07:15 waking nights.

The Role
As a Support Worker at Sherwood House, you will play a vital role in providing practical and emotional support to our residents. Your main responsibility is to help residents live as independently as possible, while respecting their choices and preferences.

Sherwood House has a dedicated Chef and Activity Coordinator, so your focus will be on:

  * Supporting residents with personal hygiene and personal care

  * Encouraging community engagement and social activities

  * Offering companionship and emotional support

This role may involve moving and handling tasks and risk management, so you must be comfortable and willing to undertake these duties.

What We’re Looking For

We are seeking a friendly, calm, and resilient individual who is passionate about delivering high-quality care.

Essential skills and experience:

  * Previous experience in hospitality or strong customer service skills

  * Experience in a care role is highly desirable

  * Understanding of age-related health needs

  * Excellent communication skills and attention to detail value

If you are enthusiastic about protecting human rights, promoting choice and independence, and helping people live meaningful lives, we would love to hear from you!

Travelling to Sherwood House

Due to its location, candidates who can drive are highly desirable, as the home is a 7-minute drive from the High Street in Hucknall. Candidates travelling from Mansfield can use the 141 bus service to Nottingham to arrive to project, but this service is not available for colleagues finishing at 9.30pm.

We look forward to receiving your application!

Interviews will be done on an ongoing basis; we reserve the right to close this vacancy early if enough interest is received.

As an Equal Opportunities and Disability Confident Employer, NCHA welcomes applications from all suitably qualified candidates including those from Black, Asian and minority ethnic groups and disabled candidates. As part of our LGBT Allies Programme, we also welcome applications from members of the LGBT community and encourage inclusivity in the workplace
