Senior Outreach Worker, Fairways Outreach Service

Care in the community but not as you’ve seen it.

You won’t spend your day rushing from client to client! You’ll supervise outreach workers who are on shift as well as delivering front line support. Our client supports are never less than one hour so you certainly won’t be spending most of your day driving. You’ll be working to ensure the delivery of prescribed support to service users in relation to physical, social, emotional and spiritual needs to enable each service user to live a fulfilled and meaningful life.

Working in line within a legal, statutory and organisational framework the worker will promote the organisation’s ethos of empowerment and self determination for service users, valuing diversity and respecting rights, privacy and choice. The senior outreach worker will be expected to work in partnership with service users to ensure that they are protected from harm, abuse, neglect or exploitation.

Please note that you are applying for a post working with people with a learning disability. You should be aware that, given the nature of the disability of some of the service users with whom you will be working, you may witness or experience behaviours that challenge. You should therefore consider whether you have the necessary knowledge, skills and values to work in such an environment.
