Life at Hft

Joining Hft means becoming part of a warm, inclusive team that values both your well-being and the impact you make. We believe every learning disabled adult should have the chance to live the best life possible, and that begins with supporting our colleagues.

Promote health, safety and wellbeing, balancing support with respect for each person’s preferences and decisions
Enable people to attend health appointments and feel confident in managing their medication and wellbeing
Nurture independence step by step, helping people to develop new skills, confidence and self-belief
Stand alongside people in their day-to-day lives, offering the right level of support, including personal care where needed, while always promoting dignity and respect
Maintain accurate records and follow safeguarding practices, ensuring every person feels safe, valued and supported

Who you are

You’re passionate about standing alongside learning disabled adults, supporting each person to live the best life possible on their own terms.

To do this well, you’ll bring:

Patience, empathy and a genuine respect for people’s choices, recognising and valuing individuality
A positive and encouraging approach, celebrating progress and achievements, no matter how small
Strong communication skills, helping to build open, trusting and meaningful relationships
A willingness to learn and develop, including working towards a Health and Social Care qualification
Confidence in providing personal support when it’s needed, always with dignity, kindness and respect
Flexibility to work a range of shifts, including evenings, weekends, waking nights and sleep-ins
Experience in social care is welcome, but not essential. Your values, compassion and commitment are what truly make the difference
