Support Worker roles in St Helens
If you want Support Worker work in St Helens, Protocol Healthcare Services recruits for supported living, mental health and learning disability services, on both temporary and permanent contracts.
St Helens and the area we cover
Whiston Hospital anchors a good deal of the health provision around Thatto Heath and Parr, and the settings we recruit for sit close to it. St Helens Borough Council commissions much of the care in the area, and West Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust runs the clinical side.
We fill posts in Thatto Heath, Parr, Sutton and Eccleston and out towards Rainhill, Whiston and Haydock. L35, WA10, WA9 and WA11 come up most often, and work extends through Merseyside.
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
You set your availability. Plenty of the people we place around Rainhill work three or four shifts and keep the rest of the week their own. Most people settle into a handful of regular services, often within a few miles of Sutton.
Agency and permanent are both on offer. Picking up shifts in two or three services around Parr is a low-risk way to find out where you want to be.
What we look for
- ✓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
- ✓Experience in mental health or learning disability support is desirable, not essential
