All about the role:
Are you looking for an exciting new career opportunity where you can really make a difference? Fairfield Trust are excited to be recruiting for the Pathways Team!
This is a great opportunity to become a Community-based Support Worker and carry the culture and values of Fairfield Trust to the wider community in the South West. Whilst Fairfield Trust is based near Westbury in Wiltshire, this role will require regular travel as we support young people in and around their own homes and communities, both across Wiltshire and neighbouring counties. At times, you may be required to work in the Trust’s Westbury-based residential houses.
Our Pathways team empowers young people to live their best lives, without barriers.
You may have worked in care and support before, or you may be looking for a change in direction and a new opportunity. We offer all the training and support necessary to enable you to offer safe and compassionate support to people in their own homes and communities. Following appointment, an initial training period will take place in Westbury and you will become an expert in delivering person centred, goal focussed, care and support.
The Pathways team operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, supporting people to lead fulfilling lives, with choice and control over how they spend their time. We work with people in their own homes and communities, focusing on their wellbeing, their life skills, their work skills and social lives. The role may include personal care, daily living activities and practical tasks and may offer just a few hours of support, or 24-hour support.
To note, the expectation is that successful candidates will use their own vehicles to travel to and from the young person's home and to transport the young person to and from appointments and events.
