Job Description

Castlebeck needs good people, with or without experience, to join our teams of professionals, making a real difference to the lives of people with learning disabilities and challenging behaviour.

In the role of support worker you will encourage and assist the service users in the development of new skills. This may include devising and implementing programmes to encourage more self help or help them develop new ways of coping with life events. These may include general and social skills, accessing community leisure and educational facilities, and support to obtain employment.

Previous experience is not a requirement as training to NVQ Level III will be given. For those who wish to progress further there is every opportunity to do so.

However, if you are someone with experience / relevant qualifications, the remuneration package will reflect this.
