We're different because we pride ourselves in putting the people we support at the centre of everything we do. We do this by delivering specifically tailored support for every individual we work with.

• As a valued member of our team, each Female Support Worker is there to help deliver the quality-of-life people with disabilities deserve. By doing so, the female support worker will be supporting our service users to reach their full potential.

• You will help to ensure that Walsingham Support's care is of high quality and person-centred. As a Female Support Worker you will help to ensure that care is tailored to the needs of each individual and based on their lifestyle.

• As a Female Support Worker, it is your duty to ensure a high quality and well maintained environment for those we support.

• Each Female Support Worker is expected to work from a care plan, providing help with day to day living tasks. This might include personal care, meal preparation, housekeeping, providing emotional support, social interaction and visits to activities in their communities.

We really care about our staff and offer a wide range of benefits to each Female Support Worker:

1. Favourable working hours, including part-time roles and bank positions.
2. 28 days annual leave, rising up to 38 days depending on length of service.
3. Double pay if you work on bank holidays.
4. Pension scheme contributions.
5. Life assurance equal to three times your salary.
6. Walsingham Rewards Scheme with extensive discounts on everyday items.

THE BENEFITS OF WORKING FOR A CHARITY

Working for a charity can offer a range of unique benefits compared to working for a commercial business. If it is your first time applying for a job at a charity organisation below are some of the notable differences between us and a commercial, corporate organisation:

1. Sense of Purpose: Many people find working for a charity to be more personally fulfilling because they contribute to a cause or mission that aligns with their values.
2. Social Impact: Charities typically focus on addressing social issues, whether it's healthcare, education, poverty, or the environment.
3. Diverse and Inclusive Environment: Charities often have a strong commitment to diversity and inclusion, reflecting the diverse communities they serve.
4. Skill Development: Working for a charity may provide opportunities for employees to develop a wide range of skills.
5. Community Engagement: Charities are usually deeply connected to the communities they serve.
6. Flexibility and Passion-Driven Work: While this may not be universally true, some charities offer a more flexible work environment.
7. Positive Workplace Culture: Charities often foster a positive and collaborative workplace culture.
8. You are not making money for a board of Directors: At Walsingham, any surplus funds generated by the charity goes back into the care of the service users.
9. Job Stability: Charities are less likely to take risks when expanding, so are less likely to suffer financially compared to companies that focus purely on profit.
