Support Worker

As an experienced Support Worker, you could be making a difference every day in your new role as Support and Training co-Ordinator, where you can bring out the skills, strengths, abilities and aspirations of those you are working with to start the journey of getting back on their feet to independent living.
Some people have complex histories and lives and have faced many challenges. Providing an inclusive and stable environment to live in, meaningful work, training and the opportunity to learn skills together all help build the confidence and lost self-esteem that is just the start of the journey and you could be working for an organisation that does that every day.
Your role as Support & Training Co-Ordinator will help bring out the skills, aspirations, strengths and abilities and to make the positive changes needed for our residents to prepare for sustained independent living.
To be successful in this role you can bring to the fore your previous experience of working with Adults with diverse needs and experiences within a residential setting. Empathy and understanding is key but also being confident and used to taking on and resolving difficult and often sensitive issues is too.
A key part of this role is training & developing skills through personal and professional development training in all areas of house management and in particular around budgeting, developing and cooking nutritionally balanced menus for the daily communal meal. Skills that can potentially open opportunities within the catering and hospitality sectors and so catering and budget management experience is a must too. The role is Monday to Friday but also needs the flexibility of being able to sometimes work or attend outside of those hours but flexibility is a two way thing and works on both sides.
This role needs someone that values
- Personal integrity
- The importance of every individual
- Outstanding service to people
- The importance of working together
- Professional competence
You may also have a wider variety of work and voluntary experience, including
- Working with the public or within communities providing advice, care and support services, perhaps even holding an IAG qualification
- Experience supporting family and friends through traumatic, life-changing events
In return we can offer :
??a salary of GBP22,232 per annum
??25 days leave plus bank holidays
??Stakeholder pension scheme
??Mandatory & optional training
??An opportunity to make a difference.
