Could you see yourself supporting us to live fulfilled lives? Do you enjoy going on day trips, cinema trips and coffee & cake afternoons? Would you be able to inject some liveliness into the boring tasks we need a little support with such as cleaning and cooking? Can you see yourself encouraging us to build relationships with people in our local community and helping us maintain relationships with those important to us?

We would like someone who can communicate in many different ways, someone who is friendly, respects others and helps us look our best at all times with a smile on their face.

Does this sound like you? If so, we would love to meet you!

As a Support Worker, you will make a real difference to people's lives! Passionate about people, you will enjoy the scope and support to enhance your own life and career too, as you gain the experience and training you need to progress with us.

This is a brand new supported living service in Sandwich, and we have high expectations for our staff. You will receive all the necessary training prior to supporting the person, which will take place locally.

Shift Patterns

This is a 24-hour service; therefore, flexibility is essential. You will be working a range of shifts including nights and some weekends. There is always the option to discuss flexible shifts such as nights only, weekends only, and part-time hours.

Role Responsibilities

• Communication should be honest, boundaried, and consistent, mindful of language used.
• Support individuals to live fulfilling lives.
• Work alongside specialists in multi-disciplinary teams, including Occupational Therapists, Social Workers, and others.

While primarily working with one individual, support may sometimes extend to others needing assistance. You will receive training to confidently support in these situations, ensuring effective contribution to the well-being of all individuals in the supported living environment.

This flexible approach helps us maintain a collaborative, team-focused, person-centred environment, ensuring everyone receives the care and attention they deserve.

The Ideal Candidate

You should be:

• Caring and passionate about supporting people.
• Resilient, patient, and understanding, capable of developing strong bonds over time.
• Consistent in your support approach.
• Effective in using language to enable opportunities for individuals.

You should have:

• The right attitude!
• The ability to work well as part of a team and independently.
• A non-judgmental approach.
