Adult Disability Support Worker

The States of Guernsey are looking for a Support Worker to join one of the Adult Disability Residential Homes. The role supports adults with profound and multiple learning disabilities living within one of our Residential Homes (Chateau Reve, Shotley Villa, Les Alouettes), where each person is valued as an individual with their own preferences, routines, and ways of communicating. Staff work within a 24hour shift system to provide consistent, compassionate support that reflects Guernseys Care Values. Support workers enable people to live meaningful, fulfilling lives by offering personalised assistance with daily activities such as personal care, cooking, cleaning, shopping, and accessing the community. Using the Active Support model, staff focus on doing things with people, not for them promoting choice, independence, and participation at every opportunity. As a Band 3 member of the team, the post holder works alongside colleagues and senior staff, taking on co-key worker responsibilities to ensure each persons needs, goals, and wellbeing are at the centre of their care. The role involves building trusting relationships, listening carefully, and adapting support to each individuals communication style, sensory needs, and physical abilities.
