SVQ Level 2 Health & Social Care

Job description

• Training: Full training provided + SVQ Level 2 in Health & Social Care

How would you feel if you knew you would change lives and make a difference in someone's life experience?

As a Support Worker at Affinity Trust, you will make a difference every day, supporting people to live their best lives, giving them confidence and choice.

One day, it could be a trip to the supermarket, the next, supporting them in a new hobby. Your support means people can live more independently; in the way they choose. Ultimately, your support gives people the freedom to be themselves.

You will be supporting a gentleman with cerebral palsy who lives in his own home in Inverurie, empowering him to live a full and meaningful life on his own terms.

He can sometimes communicate through behaviours that may be perceived as challenging, so we are looking for someone who is confident, patient, resilient, and able to provide calm, consistent, and person-centred support. Experience supporting individuals with physical disabilities and complex needs would be advantageous, along with a positive approach focused on understanding the person behind the behaviour.

We are looking for someone who is enthusiastic, motivated, and committed to building a positive and trusting relationship. In return, you'll have the opportunity to make a genuine difference by promoting independence, choice, inclusion, and wellbeing in all aspects of everyday life.

We provide complete training to enable you to provide the best support you can to people living with learning disabilities, autism, or mental health needs.

However, we know that what is essential is your kindness, energy, and willingness to make someone's day brighter.

How you'll make a difference

• Support people to enjoy their daily routines and achieve their goals
• Build trust, connection, and independence
• Work with a compassionate, mindful and dedicated team
• Buy & sell annual leave
• Access pay as you earn via Stream - https://stream.co/en
• Fully funded health plan via Simplyhealth (GP, dental, optical)
• Pension & Life Assurance

An enhanced PVG check is required (paid for by us).

We're committed to being Disability Confident, and we guarantee to interview all applicants with a disability who meet the minimum criteria for the vacancy.
