Oakwood is an acquired brain injury unit based in Offerton, Stockport. You will be supporting adults living with the effects of an acquired brain injury or associated neurological conditions. You will be working alongside our physiotherapy team, Occupational Therapist, Speech and Language Therapists and Neuropsychologist, ensuring goals and interventions set by our therapy team are met.

Enjoy making life happen for a living as a Support Worker. There’s no better feeling than supporting people to live the life they want. And it’s what you’ll do every day here at Leonard Cheshire. We offer great benefits that include a pension, substantial annual leave, Blue Light card, plus funded qualifications and training. But our Support Workers stay for the even bigger rewards of supporting individuals who’ll rely on you to achieve what most people can take for granted.

Our Service Users have acquired brain injuries and/or physical disabilities that make independence harder, what they all share is a desire to make their own choices, as well as friends and memories that last a lifetime. After all, isn’t that what most of us want? As a Support Worker for a leading charity, you’ll help make that happen.

As some Service Users are non-verbal and immobile, you might support Team Leaders with medical interventions. There’ll be some personal care and medical appointments too. But where possible, the rest of the day is down to them. Working together with our Service Users you will help to devise a weekly planner which comprises of daily activities, therapy activities, outings, meal planning etc.

There’s no upper age limit. And no experience needed – although if you’ve done something similar before, all the better. But you will need a listening ear, friendly personality, and passion for people. We want you to feel as comfortable as our Service Users. You will have a full induction, a mentor to shadow and a great team on hand. We’ll also keep your training topped up so you always feel confident, fund qualifications and support you to develop into more senior roles too, if that’s what you want.

This is a career to be proud of, in an organisation that cares about its people as much as its residents. Explore more about everything we offer and apply now.
