- Conflict Resolution: Participate in matters concerning discipline, grievances, untoward incidents, and complaints when required.
Person-Centred Planning & Care
- Key-Working: Deliver duties such as key-working, medication management, and other day-to-day care-giving responsibilities.
- Resident Participation: Actively promote the participation of residents in the planning and development of the centre/residence.
- Goal Achievement: Work in partnership with MDT staff and families to support residents in achieving personal goals guided by their care plans.
- Reporting: Report immediately to the Person In-Charge any incident of concern involving staff or residents in accordance with policy.
Health, Safety, and Finance
- Compliance: Ensure services comply with the Health, Safety and Welfare at Work Act 2005 and Talbot Group policies.
- Risk Management: Ensure all accidents and incidents are recorded and that staff are aware of their responsibilities during emergencies.
- Financial Management: Support residents in managing personal monies, maintaining accurate records of all expenditure and documenting all transactions.
- Records: Maintain comprehensive, secure, and confidential records, including daily reports, family contact sheets, and care plans.
Qualifications & Experience:
To be successful in this role you must have,
- Education: Must hold a Diploma or qualification at QQI Level 6 or above in a related healthcare field (e.g., Advanced Health & Social Studies, Social Care Studies, Special Needs Assistant, Pre-Nursing, Child Care, or Advanced Certificate in Social Care).
- Experience: Minimum of 2 years’ experience as a Direct Support Worker or a related role. Knowledge of principles and techniques utilized in cognitive rehabilitation.
