Job description

Support Worker
Location: Leicestershire
Pay: £12.21-£13.21
Contract: Temporary

Nature Of Temporary Work
Brook Street Social Care will, at all times during your employment, use reasonable endeavours to allocate you to suitable assignments. Your hours of work may vary from one assignment to another, and you will be advised of the expected hours for each assignment. There may also be occasions when no work is available.

Why Work For Brook Street Social Care?
For your hard work and commitment, you will be paid an hourly rate between £12.21-£13.21 (depending on your assignment), a committed team of consultants to do everything we can to meet your needs as an employee, and a very desirable employee package which includes; enhanced annual leave based off the hours worked, enhanced sickness pay based on your length of service, access to our National Wellbeing Lead and Wellbeing Champions, team initiatives, eye-care employee benefits service, personal development including free training, optional overtime, refer a friend scheme, a passion about our EDI strategies, work place pension, social media posts to celebrate achievements, maternity and paternity entitlements, and so much more!

Overview Of The Role
Within Leicestershire, you will either be working with young people suffering from homelessness, or supporting young children in a residential setting. Both roles will offer different hours and different role descriptions. You will support those at risk of homelessness, those suffering with their mental health, those struggling with substance misuse, or even ex-offenders. You will be responsible for ensuring their safety, as well as your own and the staff around you. Whether they need emotional support, help applying for housing benefits, or just someone to talk to, you will be there to support.

Required Experience
As this is a temporary role, and usually providing last-minute cover, you will be expected to hit the ground running. Previous experience working with vulnerable people within a similar setting will be essential.

Is your current role related?
Criminal Justice, Police, Prison & Probation, Children & Young People's services - if you work with ex-offenders, or supporting those at risk of re-offending, or if you work with young people or young adults who have experience of gang violence, or are care leavers, please do apply!

YOUR Journey With Brook Street Social Care
1st Stage - Shortlisting & Pre-Screening
In this stage I will personally review your CV, and then invite you for a telephone conversation, where will discuss your right to work, work history, suitability for the role, and any questions you may have.

2nd Stage - Compliance
In this stage, our compliance team will reach out to you to ensure the necessary checks are made, to ensure you are safe and ready to start. This will include a DBS and reference check, and proof of right to work. Your start date and employment will depend on those listed.

3rd Stage - Formal Interview
In some cases, hiring managers will still want to conduct a formal interview, to see if you would fit into their team, and for you to see if you would want to work in theirs.

4th Stage - Starting
Should you be successful in your interview, or able to start one without an interview, you will be your assignment details, including location, date, time, pay, and duties & responsibilities. The following day, your consultant will reach out to you to discuss how your first shift went, and if you would like to continue.
