Support – Facilitator

About the role

At National Star we realise the aspirations of adults living with complex physical and learning disabilities. The people we support are currently looking for care and support workers to join us.

The long-term residents and students we support at Bradbury Gardens, situated close to Pittville Park in Cheltenham have a wide range of learning and physical disabilities. Like other young people of the same age many of them love fashion, listening to music, shopping, watching sport and socialising with their friends.

As a member of the care and support team you’ll:

Help with personal care, including washing, dressing and mealtimes

Accompany and support our residents and students in their daily activities

Record and share with families the progress made towards personal goals and aspirations

Keep in touch with family and friends so residents can spend time together/chat

Administer medication to residents after receiving relevant training.

If you’re positive and passionate about empowering people with disabilities, then you’re exactly who we’re looking for. Whether it’s the big moments some of us take for granted or the small triumphs that others wouldn’t expect, together, we focus on what’s possible for every person we support and recognise that the connections we make today are the memories of tomorrow. It’s their life. You make sure they’re busy living it.
