Support Worker roles in Bangor
Support Worker roles in Bangor cover a lot of ground: supported living, mental health services, learning disability support and community teams. Protocol Healthcare Services places people on agency shifts and in permanent posts across all of it.
Bangor and the area we cover
Gwynedd services run the local teams, and the homes and services around Upper Bangor and Garth draw staff from the same pool. Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board runs services locally, with Gwynedd Council commissioning the social care alongside them.
Most placements are in Upper Bangor, Hirael and Garth, with regular work further out at Maesgeirchen, Glanadda and Coed Mawr. Postings run across Gwynedd.
What you would be doing
- ✓ Positive behaviour support and de-escalation, with training provided
- ✓ Medication prompting and support appropriate to your training
- ✓ Accurate notes and clear communication with the wider team
- ✓ Supporting people with daily routines and personal care where needed
- ✓ Encouraging independence, choice and everyday decision making
- ✓ Supporting people to access work, education, activities and their community
Shifts, and how they are booked
Days, nights and weekends are all available, full time or part time. Someone covering Glanadda on earlies and Coed Mawr on nights is an ordinary week here. The aim is ongoing work in settings you already know, not a different address every week between Upper Bangor and Penrhosgarnedd.
Some people stay on agency indefinitely; others use a few months around Garth to find the right permanent home. Both are fine.
What we look for
- ✓The right to work in the UK
- ✓Patience, resilience and respect for the people you support
- ✓Good communication skills
- ✓Experience in mental health or learning disability support is desirable, not essential
- ✓An enhanced DBS check, which we can arrange
What we do for you
You get one consultant who knows your registration, your patch and which Gwynedd services you have already worked in. We recruit from our offices in Edgware and Bournemouth and place people nationwide; there is no branch in Bangor itself, which we would rather say plainly.
Colwyn Bay, Rhyl and Birkenhead are close enough that plenty of our people work across them and Bangor both.
Let us know your hours and how far you will travel from Upper Bangor, and we will do the rest. There are immediate opportunities for suitable candidates. Call 020 8951 4510 or use the contact form.
