Your Benefits

• Career Ladder: Our dedicated career ladder provides clear opportunities for your future progression.
• Learning & Development: Support your personal and professional growth with training and qualifications to enable you to achieve your full potential.
• Financial Benefits: Life Assurance of twice your annual basic salary. Withdraw a percentage of your wages as you earn them before payday with Wagestream. Access to Discounts from over 150 retailers.

Your Role

Through understanding the needs of the people you support, you’ll provide exceptional care that truly changes lives. A career with meaning, you’ll also have a lot of fun, too – from helping with daily tasks to amazing trips that make dreams come true.

Help the people we support to engage in meaningful opportunities and activities – empowering them to enjoy a great life filled with amazing experiences. Get involved in the community, support during leisure and social activities, and celebrate special occasions. Lead the team to communicate appropriately, considering individual communication needs, and helping people to communicate effectively with others, too. Engage in learning and development opportunities for the team ensuring that training compliance levels are met and maintained.

Your Service

Little Smugglers is a relaxed home set in the quaint rural countryside with plenty of opportunities to get outside in nature, but with the towns and cities easily accessible nearby for plenty of fun days out. In the communal areas, there’s a calm but social atmosphere and you’ll usually find people gaming, cooking a meal together, or enjoying crafts and painting. There’s creativity in bucket loads, with people creating decorations and signs for the garden, or art for the home.

Your Values

You will already have experience in the social care sector (Mental Health Support Worker, Care Worker, Healthcare Assistant or Care Assistant) but your values are most important to us. Values influence every interaction between our colleagues and the people we support. They are a promise that:

• We will always act with kindness.
• Stay committed to the people who rely on us.
• Embrace creativity in the way we work and grow.

Next Steps

Once you’ve applied our dedicated in-house recruitment team will call to share more about the role. The next step will be an interview in the service, where you’ll meet the team and the people we support. If successful, we’ll organise your Free DBS Check and references prior to confirming your start date. Your journey will then begin with a 3-day online induction, before heading to the service to get started.

At Consensus, we are committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse work environment where everyone is treated with respect and dignity. We believe in equal opportunities for everyone, regardless of race, colour, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability, national origin, religion, or any other characteristic protected by law.

Join us at Consensus Support Services, where your unique perspective is valued, and every individual has the opportunity to succeed.
