Who you’ll be supporting & more about the role:
We are looking for support workers who want to make a real difference, as the role is not your run of the mill care job! Our charity's mission is to enable the people we support to live their best life possible! So we are looking for people who are passionate about enabling this to happen! Peopl that can think for themselves, and use their initiive as well as being able to follow instructions, and put the people you support first!
On Hayling Island, we have two services, that are very close to one of the beaches. The people that live there all have different support needs. These include physical and learning disabilities, as well as other complex and sometimes behaviours of concern.
These services are full of fun and laughter, with great teams and wonderful people we support!
As well as the teamwork in each individual service, the two homes work closely together, taking trips out in the local community, or further afield so being a driver that is happy to drive the service minbus would be a great advantage!
Your values:
It takes a special person to work in social care, and we recognise that not everyone who might be perfect for the role, will have any professional experience. This is why we are really passionate about recruiting to your values. This means we can recruit from all walks of life, from people with vast experience in support work or care assistant roles, to those with lived experiences looking after friends or family members with disabilities, to people with other transferable skills or those with no experience at all.
