Support Worker roles in Bristol

Bristol and the area we cover
Bristol Royal Infirmary anchors a good deal of the health provision around Clifton and Hotwells, and the settings we recruit for sit close to it. Bristol City Council commissions much of the care in the area, and Weston NHS Foundation Trust runs the clinical side.
We fill posts in Clifton, Hotwells, Bedminster and Southville and out towards Redland, Bishopston and Henleaze. BS1, BS4, BS9 and BS3 come up most often, and work extends through South West England.
What you would be doing
- ✓ Encouraging independence, choice and everyday decision making
- ✓ Supporting people to access work, education, activities and their community
- ✓ 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
Shifts, and how they are booked

Agency and permanent are both on offer. Picking up shifts in two or three services around Hotwells is a low-risk way to find out where you want to be.

- ✓An enhanced DBS check, which we can arrange
- ✓The right to work in the UK
- ✓Patience, resilience and respect for the people you support
- ✓Good communication skills
