A refurbishment to Millwater, our Birmingham residential service!
Our Millwater residential service in Birmigham supports adults with learning disabilities, autism, physical disabilities and non-complex mental health conditions.
To refresh and revitalise the service, we worked with Igloo, a commerical property services firm to carry out extensive work over 9 months, including full refits and custom room paint colours, as requested by the people we support there!

    Wow thank you Lifeways for that confidence boost. I've been battling a thought that maybe anxiety and gained confidence by actually talking to one of your support workers in a pharmacist who was helping a lad sort of the same age as me. My thought maybe anxiety has been am I too able to have a support worker being too mental health. I've seen people in wheelchairs and people unable to talk have support workers and it's EMBARRASSED the hell out of me having help earlier, BUT this lad in the pharmacy was talking, walking and using his hands and I could see straight away what wonderful angel the support worker was to him and he came across as me so much it's giving me the platform of confidence in trying to get one THANK YOU LIFE WAYS you have revealed that I should give it ago

      Support workers do a range of tasks involving helping with toileting, bathing, dressing, cleaning, cooking, feeding, cleaning, shopping, taking clients to appointments and social engagements. It's not all just leisurely activities. A lot of the time it involves heavy manual work and can be emotionally straining especially when clients are abusive. You really need a good and patient temperament and lots of compassion for others for this type of work.

    I’ve recently done sport in college for 3 years. Plan was to do sport with disadvantaged/disabled kids. I’d still like to do that but I think the market is very small for it and I’m thinking about becoming a support worker as even though my preference would be sport the point was to ultimately help them. Plan is to do a course in college or uni but not sure what course would be best for me? I want to teach people with disabilities basic life skills and to see them progress and become more independent. Plan is to do a course and something along side that like a part time job or volunteering! To put on my CV to show I have experience. What would you suggest?

      Hi Danny - great question. Qualifications in care and support are always a great thing. Moving forward with your career in this field would depend on what kind of time and commitment you can make. For example, Lifeways offers apprenticeships alongside support worker roles. This means you can learn and earn - and while working for us, have us pay for your qualification, which would generally be an apprenticeship programme (previously known as a NVQ), in social care. At Lifeways, you need to be working with us for a minimum of 16 hours per week (so effectively, part-time) to qualify for this apprenticeship programme. Other providers may also offer similar programmes. - Here's a quick look at our apprenticeship programmes: www.lifeways.co.uk/news-events/national-apprenticeship-week-2022-how-to-pursue-an-apprenticeship-at-lifeways-and-why - To hear and ask questions directly to a recruiter, you could also apply for a job, from our website: www.lifeways.co.uk/careers/job-search
