You will work to support clients with daily tasks to promote independence, whilst enabling individuals to enjoy fulfilling and valued lives. As a Support Worker you will provide outcome focused support to enable clients to lead fulfilling and valued lives, maintain their tenancies, participate in their local community, develop independent living skills and achieve their personal goals and desired outcomes.

You will help our clients to maximise their sense of wellbeing and independence through tailored, ongoing care and support and will help facilitate engagements with their peers and out in their local community utilising opportunities for personal development. This is a perfect career opportunity for people who are keen to learn new skills, are seeking a rewarding job that will allow them to progress in the health and social care sector and develop their career.

The service has great public transport links and is based along the local bus route. For our Relief worker roles, previous experience is necessary. As a Creative Support Bank Staff member, you will have access to our free app, which allows you to pick up shifts in any area of the country and provides information on the service, including directions.

We can only accept applications from candidates who are located in and eligible to work within the UK. We are unable to offer any Skilled worker visas for any relief/ bank posts. This is because the Home Office require individuals to have a set annual earnings threshold of over £21,000 per annum and we are unable to guarantee hours on an ad-hoc basis. We would encourage candidates to apply to this post as soon as possible. If we receive a large number of applications we may process these prior to the deadline.
