Job description

Overview

We’re recruiting!

Join us as a Learning Disability Support Worker and help build a future where learning disabled people live the best life possible.

We know that life can be complicated for everybody. But some of us are stopped from working towards our dreams. Many learning disabled people won’t be heard about the support they’d like. Some won’t get to decide what they do for work. Or how to spend or save their money. Many won't get to try out the new hobbies they’d love to try.

But you can change all that.

Join our growing team inLympne, and get all the training you need to become a confidentSupport Worker.

Do you feel like our values - Kind, Diverse, Positive and Visionary - are a good match to your values? Then we’ve got lots in common already. Come on board and support learning disabled adults with those very values to develop skills, achieve their life goals and thrive in your community.

What we offer you

• Where you’ll be working: Lympne, Kent, CT21 4PA
• Your salary: £12.77 per hour
• Your working hours: We offer lots of flexibility to suit you and those you support
• Generous Holidays: 33 days of annual leave (including eight days statutory bank holidays)
• Pay incentives: 10% allowance, for overtime, sleep ins and waking nights - 20% Bank Holiday allowance, - 50% for key dates over Christmas
• Training & development: Earn money while you get a fully funded Level 2 Diploma in Health & Social Care
• Lots of benefits: Health, retail and cash incentives to use how you want

What you’ll be doing

Every day is different. You may be supporting someone to plan their weekly shop, to go on an outdoor adventure. Providing everyday personal care to supporting someone to go to their favourite gig. You could be building someone’s confidence in using public transport or teaching money management skills. What’s important is supporting people to discover new interests, achieve new goals and maintain important relationships with their family and friends.

You’ll provide the highest possible standard of care and support for learning disabled adults. Listening to their wants and needs, enabling people to do daily tasks such as taking medication, cooking a meal or working with them to build their confidence and take on new adventures they are longing for. All this while working a variety of shifts to support your work and home life balance.

Public transport to our service here is limited so it would be great if you had a driving licence and access to a car, or are able to get help getting to and from the service.

This is your opportunity to make a real difference to people's lives. You will need to have flexibility to work shifts, including weekends and bank holidays.

We can’t wait to meet you at our Lympne services!
