Requirements
We’re on the hunt for genuinely caring, hands-on Support Workers with a passion for enhancing the quality of life of the people we support. As a support worker with us, you’ll help people gain more independence in their daily lives whilst working within a dynamic team supporting a fantastic group of people!
Our residential service, Witham, is a welcoming, friendly environment, and you can be sure no two days will be the same! You’ll enhance the lives of the people we support by teaching new life skills, assisting with personal care, encouraging them to access their local communities, socialising, and engaging in a range of activities. One day you could be out with the people we support in local bars and pubs, the next you could be unwinding with them playing video games, watching films, or going to the cinema.
Who We Are Looking For
This is an amazing role for someone who is looking to make a real difference in someone’s life and help them grow in confidence and independence so they can meet their goals, whether that means making dinner by themselves or going on holiday.
We’re interested in our Support Workers having both the right experience and the right values. This is why at this service our Support Workers should hold a full UK driving license, be resilient, flexible and composed in their approach, have experience with following Positive Behaviour Support plans and reflective practice as well as experience working with individuals requiring enhanced support, including behaviour’s of distress, mental health conditions, autism, forensic histories and people who have experienced trauma.
Why choose us?
You don’t need experience to be a fantastic Support Worker; what you need is a passion for enhancing the quality of life for the people we support, a desire to learn, and a genuine, caring attitude.
We embrace people’s differences and encourage you to Be You, and so long as you’ve got the passion to make someone’s life better, we can give you all the skills and development opportunities you need to build a great career.
We encourage our staff to Grow Together through our excellent training programme, starting at induction and following you through your career, with opportunities for promotion and progression as well as job security in a sector-leading organisation.
We have a fantastic range of benefits for our staff, and we offer sector-leading career progression, so don’t hesitate to apply today and make a real difference to the lives of the people we’re supporting!
