Overview
Supporting people to live great lives. At Affinity Trust, we empower people to lead meaningful lives on their own terms. As a support worker, you will play a key role in promoting independence and building social connections. Your support will make a real difference in their lives.
Who will I support?
We are looking for someone to join the team supporting 4 people in their own flats in Eastry, Kent, who all enjoy getting out and about in their community. They like to join in with local events, love to grab a coffee, go shopping and enjoy drives out in their own vehicles, so you should be a driver with a manual licence and be prepared to drive these. You should ideally hold a manual driving licence and be prepared to drive as part of the role. However, if you live locally and do not have a driving licence, we would still welcome your application, provided you can reliably travel to the location for your shifts.
How will I make a difference?
As a support worker you\'ll be there to lend a helping hand in a way that puts the person\'s needs first, this means:
* You will adapt your support to fit what each person needs and wants daily.
* You will encourage people to make their own choices, big and small.
* You will help people to do things themselves to be as independent as possible.
* You will support people to build confidence and life skills.
* You will support people to be a part of their community, joining local clubs and connecting with friends and family.
* You will be understanding, allowing people to take their time and do things at their own pace.
* You will celebrate people\'s achievements, no matter how small they might seem to others.
