Support Worker roles in Warrington
Support Worker roles in Warrington 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.
Warrington and the area we cover
Warrington Hospital is the hospital local teams work alongside, and the homes and services around Stockton Heath and Great Sankey draw staff from the same pool. Halton Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust runs services locally, with Warrington Borough Council commissioning the social care alongside them.
Most placements are in Stockton Heath, Latchford and Great Sankey, with regular work further out at Penketh, Woolston and Orford. Postings run through WA1, WA4 and WA5, including out at Westbrook.
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 Woolston on earlies and Orford on nights is an ordinary week here. The aim is ongoing work in settings you already know, not a different address every week between Stockton Heath and Birchwood.
Some people stay on agency indefinitely; others use a few months around Great Sankey to find the right permanent home. Both are fine.
What we look for
- ✓Good communication skills
- ✓Experience in mental health or learning disability support is desirable, not essential
- ✓An enhanced DBS check, which we can arrange
- ✓The right to work in the UK
- ✓Patience, resilience and respect for the people you support
What we do for you
You get one consultant who knows your registration, your patch and which Cheshire services you have already worked in. We recruit from our offices in Edgware and Bournemouth and place people nationwide; there is no branch in Warrington itself, which we would rather say plainly.
Widnes, Runcorn and St Helens are close enough that plenty of our people work across them and Warrington both.
Let us know your hours and how far you will travel from Stockton Heath, and we will do the rest. There are immediate opportunities for suitable candidates. Call 020 8951 4510 or use the contact form.
