Descrizione del lavoro

Since the early days, we've grown to provide many innovative and bespoke care services to thousands of people across England and Scotland. We want to provide support based on the principles of choice, dignity and respect. This resonates in our vision of 'Your Life, Your Choice' and our strategy 'Best Lives Possible'. We have strong values and we're proud to pioneer new ways of delivering social care to stand out in our sector. In the past two years, we have won or made the shortlist for over 100 national and regional awards! We are also focused on our people. Our Support Workers are dedicated and passionate about going 'the extra mile' for the people we support and in return, we go the extra mile for them by investing in pay, recognition, wellbeing and continued professional and personal development. We will provide you with all the training, support and personal protective equipment you need in your role and will help you develop, should you decide you want to develop your career with us. Who you'll be supporting & more about the role.

Are you a fun-loving and motivated person who loves going the extra mile to improve the lives of others? Is it important for you to have a satisfying job where you feel supported? If this sounds like you, maybe a Support Worker role with an award-winning charity is the change you've been looking for! We are a Charity Shop and Workshop for adults with both physical and mental disabilities and have a diverse mix of people who attend, ranging in age from early 20's to late 70's. We are really proud of the shop, how we stock the shelves, serve the customers and do general shop-based activities. It's not all shop work we do though! We also enjoy activities including swimming, going to the local pub for a drink and games, bowling, litter picking, long walks and going to the local park for a picnic. Our shifts generally run from 09.00 - 15.30 or 09.30 - 16.00. Applicants with a UK driving license would be strongly encouraged to apply, as this would be beneficial for this role. We are recruiting for a relief member of staff.
