Support Worker roles in Swansea

Working around Swansea
Morriston Hospital anchors a good deal of the health provision around Mumbles and Sketty, and the settings we recruit for sit close to it. Swansea Council commissions much of the care in the area, and Swansea Bay University Health Board runs the clinical side.
We fill posts in Mumbles, Sketty, Uplands and Morriston and out towards Gorseinon, Clydach and Gowerton. SA1, SA2, SA3 and SA4 come up most often, and work extends through South Wales.
A typical shift
- ✓ 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
- ✓ Positive behaviour support and de-escalation, with training provided
Shifts and contracts
You set your availability. Plenty of the people we place around Gorseinon 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 Uplands.
Agency and permanent are both on offer. Picking up shifts in two or three services around Sketty is a low-risk way to find out where you want to be.
