Job description

Job Introduction

Would you like to be part of a small and highly specialised service committed to supporting individuals in the community?

Would you like to involve people and support them to be part of the local community?

Would you like to be well trained, well supported, well paid, and know that you are making a positive difference every time you go to work?

About Me

I am looking for people to support me in Canterbury, both at home and in my local community.

I enjoy spending time with animals, family & friends, socializing, and learning new skills.

I need support throughout the day in my home and community to develop independent living skills, stay safe, maintain a healthy lifestyle, manage anxiety, and handle challenges specific to me. I sometimes find time with my own thoughts challenging and need caring people to support me with these feelings.

I am embarking on an exciting and new journey in my own home and will need support to achieve the best life possible, from people who are enthusiastic to take this journey with me.

Shift Patterns

This is a 24-hour service, so flexibility is essential. You will work a variety of shifts, including nights and some weekends. There is also the option to discuss flexible shifts, such as nights only or weekends only, on a part-time basis.

Potential average earnings depend on additional shifts worked and, where applicable, sleep-ins.

Sleep-ins are not required in all services.

Not all colleagues will work overtime; therefore, potential earnings may vary.

Role Responsibilities

About the role

• I need my support workers to be caring, patient, and understanding.
• Support workers should be mindful of their language when communicating with me.
• The role involves supporting me both at home and in the community.
• Supporting me during both challenging and positive times is essential.
• You will work alongside specialists in multidisciplinary teams, including psychologists, occupational therapists, social workers, and others.

The Ideal Candidate

You should be

• Experienced in supporting people with Autism and mental health diagnoses.
• Resilient, patient, and understanding, with time to develop a strong bond with me.
• Consistent in your support approach.
• Effective in using language to help me expand my opportunities.

You should have:

• The right attitude and a good sense of humor.
• Motivation to support me within a busy schedule.
• Good attendance record.
• The ability to work well both independently and as part of a team, including with other professionals involved in my support.

This is a specialized supported living service in Canterbury with high standards for our staff. All necessary training will be provided locally prior to supporting me.

About Us

As a leading health and social care provider with over 300 locations across England, we pride ourselves on our services.

We operate on a not-for-profit basis, reinvesting all earnings into our services and people. We are committed to continuous improvement and enhancing the lives of those we support.

What Benefits Will I Receive?

We recognize that rewards can be diverse—whether through financial benefits, recognition, career development opportunities, or other perks. Our total reward package is designed to support you in every way.

You will receive 29 days of paid holiday annually, increasing to 31 days with each year of service, with options to buy additional holidays.
