They require support with direct personal care using safer people handling equipment where assessed. The role can often include supporting Service Users to manage their challenging behaviour by following risk assessments and risk management strategies, whilst maintaining and promoting their independence at all times.\nThe client group we support require consistent intensive support, due to their level of learning disability and/or physical disabilities/behaviour. Some of our Service Users may experience problems in managing their complex behaviour; therefore, we adopt a multi-agency approach to help promote positive behaviour management, in the safest, ethical, and most appropriate way possible.\nThis role will involve working from person centred support plans, risk assessments and the promotion of person-centred planning.

Support Workers need to be flexible as you may need to work in various properties across the service. Shift work includes a proportion of weekend working and Bank holidays which are reflected on rotas.\nThe hourly rate for this post is £13.26 to £13.47 per hour\nApplicants must have some experience of working with adults or children with a learning disability, and ideally possess an NVQ level 2 in Health and Social Care or equivalent and be willing to undertake all essential training to meet the Care Quality Commission Standards for the service.

Making A Difference as an Approved Mental health Professional in the Working Age Social Work Team An exciting opportunity has arisen within the AMHP Service for St Helens Borough Council. Under the Regulations to Mental Health Act 1983, the Council has a statutory duty/responsibility to ensure that AMHP (Approved Mental Health Professional) provision is available over a twenty-four-hour period, 7 days per week. During the day, AMHP provision is situated within the Working Age Social Work Team. This provision ends at 17.15 but the current AMHPs are often working past core hours. St Helens Council Emergency Duty Team (EDT) also provide AMHP cover (out of hours) and often Mental Health Act Assessments are passed over to EDT from daytime or, from EDT to daytime services which impacts on both services. The successful post holder will bridge the gap where day services end and, EDT begin, providing a continuum of day services from 16.00 to 20.00 hours, five days a week. This post will firm up the statutory responsibilities under the Mental Health Act 1983. It is hoped that the post holder will take the work that on occasions is passed from service to service. This will ensure that we provide a smooth-running service to our service users and NHS colleagues in Mental Health Services, as referrals for Mental Health Act Assessments requested later in the afternoon would be coordinated by the successful post holder, rather than waiting for EDT who arrive on shift at 17.00 hours. You may on occasion be asked to undertake other work that comes under the statutory functions of the Mental Health Act 1983. Our current benefits package for this role includes: ·Additional £4,000 payment paid to those who are AMHP qualified and are added to the AMHP rota. This payment is reviewed every two years.
