This is more than just a care role. It's an opportunity to build meaningful relationships, encourage independence, and be part of the moments that truly matter.

What's the Role Like?

No two days are the same.

You'll support individuals to live life to the fullest, providing personal care, administering medication, and promoting health and wellbeing in a safe, person-centred way. Beyond that, you'll help create enjoyable and rewarding experiences, whether that's:

• Arts and crafts sessions
• Baking and cooking activities
• Supporting trips out in the local community
• Spending time on the service's on-site farm
• Encouraging hobbies, independence, and new experiences

Every shift is a chance to make someone smile, build their confidence, and help them achieve their goals.

We're looking for candidates who can commit to:

• Evening shifts: 17:30 - 22:00
• Long day shifts available: 14.5 hours
• Service operates 7 days per week

What We're Looking For

• Minimum 6 months' experience within care or support work
• Confident providing personal care and medication support
• Epilepsy Awareness experience or training
• Drivers welcome due to the location, but not essential
• A DBS on the Update Service is advantageous, though we can help arrange a new one

Why Join Brook Street Social Care?

• £13.75 per hour, paid weekly
• Holiday pay accrued on top of your earnings
• Ongoing training and career development opportunities
• A friendly, supportive team that genuinely values its staff
• A unique service with engaging activities and an on-site farm
• The chance to make a lasting impact on people's lives every single day

Not all heroes wear capes. Some simply show up every day ready to make a difference.
