Job Introduction
We’re all about possibilities. Are you?
Are you creative? Do you enjoy trying something new? Are you a kind person, who is resilient, positive and adaptable?
Become a Support Worker.
What matters to the people we support matters to us. It’s their life, their way.
You will be working alongside 10 people who live in their own flats within the same building in Leicester (LE2), so it is important that you can connect and share their interests. We need people like you to ensure they can live as independently as possible.
If you are a positive and friendly person, who enjoys encouraging people to try new activities and are passionate about helping people to access their community, then we want to hear from you.
This is a part time role of between 15-30hrs per week.
You do not need to be able to drive for this role, however, a full UK driving licence is preferable.
You should be available to work a variety of shifts across the week and alternate weekends, between the hours of 7am and 10pm, with shifts between 6-8 hours.
So if you enjoy building meaningful relationships and think you could plan, communicate and deliver support with and alongside people, then this is the place for you.
Gender is considered to be a genuine occupational requirement in accordance with paragraph 1 of Schedule 9 of the Equality Act 2010.
Ability to commute/relocate: LE2 - You must be able to reliably commute for shift start times or plan to relocate before starting work (required).
Affinity Trust does not presently hold a Sponsorship Licence and while this status is reviewed regularly there is no present proposal to apply for such a Licence.
What will we do?
We will train you in everything you need to be a great Support Worker. We will apply and pay for your enhanced DBS, and we have a mentorship scheme in place to provide support and guide you on your journey with us.
We provide a package of benefits that make it that bit easier to be your best and we can also support you to achieve a Level 2 diploma in Health and Social Care and pursue a career that takes on more responsibility.
We offer Wagestream - a money management app that gives you access to a percentage of your pay as you earn it, access to coaching, vouchers, discounts, cashback and more.
You will be entitled to annual leave with the ability to buy additional leave
Fully funded health cash plans giving you access to a 24 hour GP, money back on prescriptions, dental treatment, opticians and access to many more health benefits.
What will you do?
Supporting people is really important but it’s not all trips out and artwork. We also support people to take their medication, make healthy lifestyle choices or maintain their home in a way they are safe and well.
It sounds exciting to say no two days will be the same, but in support, sometimes they are. Sometimes people like routine and struggle with change… But when you support someone to try something new – what a feeling!
If you want to empower people to live the life they choose and you share our values… Apply to become a Support Worker today.
