Job Description:

Looking for a new challenge?

We are now recruiting for a Support Worker to join our friendly, well-established team at our Residential service in Dereham, Norfolk.

Roles are permanent, with part & full time contracts available for up to 37.5 hours. We are offering Support Workers in Dereham £12.25 per hour / £23,888 per annum FTE, with a 20p per hour enhancement for weekend shifts.

We support 6 individuals in our home. Each individual is provided with care and support tailored to their individual needs, including complex communication needs, physical health conditions, and multi-sensory impairments.

Care is provided around the clock. We take pride in the range of activities and wellbeing events we provide. You will often find yourself out on offsite activities, day trips, and holidays. Examples of community activities include horse riding, bowling, swimming, and music lessons. Your role would also include personal care, medication administration, and a small amount of manual handling (hoisting) where necessary.

A full manual UK license is required as we have manual company vehicles used to drive and take individuals to appointments, activities outside of the home, and trips. We are flexible in our shifts, with general shift patterns as follows: 7:00am-4:00pm and 4:00pm-10:00pm. Sleep-ins are also available as overtime, which will be discussed with you at interview.

Does this sound right for you?

No two days will be the same.

Here at Sense, we support people with complex disabilities to live the life they choose. Your priority will be empowering the people you support to live an independent life.

This role in Dereham might include supporting people with:

• Everyday tasks like cooking and cleaning.
• Personal care and hygiene.
• Finances.
• Medication and wellbeing.
• Working.
• Going into the community for shopping or other trips.
• Their social life and nightlife.

Everyone we support is an individual, so their care is as unique as they are.

About Sense

Working at Sense can be incredibly rewarding; we offer the opportunity to work in a large, diverse, and successful charity where people can develop their skills, knowledge, and careers in a supportive and flexible environment. In addition, we have excellent training and development opportunities, the chance to join our Group Personal Pension scheme, and generous annual leave entitlement.
