Job summary

Main duties of the job
You will join an inclusive and supportive team that works well together, over three sites across Kendal to provide care and support to people with learning disabilities. Working across all three of the sites in Kendal naturally provides a good amount of variety, where a typical day as a Healthcare Assistant could include helping residents to make food and get dressed, taking them out for activities – be it a walk or a trip to the cinema, playing games with them, and generally supporting them to be engaged in meaningful occupation.It can be a challenging environment at times, so a positive attitude, compassion, resilience and vigilance are important. But it is hugely rewarding to see people improve; being able to do something today that they couldn’t do last week because of you. Plus, the Elysium Wellbeing team is on hand to keep you feeling great; be it a chat, massage or group activities.The shift patterns include working nights and weekends, hours a day, 3 days a week.
About us
Our Kendal sites provide enhanced levels of support that allows people with continuing challenging behaviour and high support needs to be cared for in the least restrictive setting possible, but within a service which is also robust and structured enough to meet their ongoing needs and risks.The service ensures people lead positive and meaningful everyday lives, where they have choice and control, accessing mainstream services and facilities, engaging in work and training, in leisure opportunities, hobbies and areas of personal interest.Residents are encouraged to be as independent as possible with the long-term aim of people moving onto a more independent living setting.
