Post: Support Workers x 2 posts

Contract: Permanent, Part-Time (33.25 hours per week)

Location: Valentia Residential Service

*Please note, rosters may be subject to change due to the Operational requirements of the Service*

Tigh an Oileain is home to five male residents, and we are looking for compassionate and reliable individuals to join our team and provide essential support.

The ideal candidates will work collaboratively with the team to improve the residents' quality of life.

A full drivers licence with access to a road worthy car insured for business purposes is preferred to assist residents with community access, appointments, and leisure activities.

If you are dedicated to making a positive impact and empowering people to thrive in their every day interests and pursuits; then we want to hear from you.

The Role:

The Support Worker will play a vital role in empowering individuals by planning and setting meaningful goals that address their unique personal, social, recreational, academic, independent living, community integration, training, and supported employment needs.

In this role, you will actively guide and support individuals to realise their aspirations, helping them to reach identified priorities and achieve greater independence and self sufficiency. You will also advocate for their inclusion and active participation in the community, ensuring they have access to opportunities that promote social and personal growth.

The Support Worker operates within a person centred framework, prioritising the individual’s choices and needs. You will work closely with both internal and external services, fostering a culture of collaboration and partnership, and building strong relationships with families to ensure holistic support that truly benefits the individual.

Alongside supporting adults with intellectual disabilities, the Support Worker will be responsible for maintaining accurate records, completing relevant reports, and ensuring that all documentation meets required standards. The role includes providing physical support, such as assisting with personal care, emotional and psychological support, as well as healthcare management, all while promoting dignity, respect, and personal autonomy.

In addition to supporting day to day tasks, you will also facilitate the development of life skills through engaging in hobbies, interests, and other activities. By teaching skills such as budgeting, cooking, communication, and time management, you will help individuals develop the tools they need to live fulfilling, independent lives.

The role will also require you to work alongside a range of healthcare professionals, ensuring that all aspects of an individual’s care are met with the highest standards of quality and compassion. Your input will be essential in creating care plans that are responsive to changing needs, promoting personal growth and well being, and fostering a sense of belonging and achievement within the community.

This is a dynamic and rewarding position that requires dedication, a commitment to lifelong learning, and a strong passion for making a meaningful difference in the lives of those we support.

  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills to engage effectively with individuals, families, colleagues, managers, and senior team members.
  • Ability to document and report accurately and professionally.
  • Ability to plan, coordinate, and document daily activities and individualised care plans.
  • Ability to maintain accurate digital records and complete reports in compliance with GDPR.
  • Strong time management skills to balance multiple responsibilities effectively.

  • Experience of working in a care delivery capacity, preferably within a disability service.
