Creative Support is a not-for-profit organisation which provides high quality, person-centred support to people with learning disabilities and other support needs. The support we offer is tailored to the individual client’s needs and wants, whilst encouraging independence and community engagement. This role will be based at our registered care service in Witham, Essex where we support 6 wonderful individuals.
As a successful candidate, you will receive a full local and corporate induction and complete the Care Certificate. On completion of your probationary period, you will automatically be enrolled onto the NVQ level 3 diploma in Health and Social Care. You will have access to ongoing professional development from our training offices in London and Reading, and the opportunity to discuss your training and development needs during regular supervision and appraisal meetings.
We are looking for calm, resourceful individuals who are highly motivated, hardworking, and keen to support people with disabilities in a proactive and holistic manner. You will have well-honed skills in positive communication and engagement and will be able to demonstrate unconditional positive regard for all our service users. You will support people to maintain a healthy state of wellbeing, mentally, physically and emotionally. You will (alongside members of the person’s circle of support) empower individuals to be happy, healthy, and successful in achieving their life goals.
You must be willing to embrace all aspects of the role including, but not limited to, providing support with personal care and domestic tasks, and supporting individuals to access work, education and social opportunities. We value the personal skills and interests you bring to the role and to the lives of the people we support, such as outdoor pursuits, creative arts and culinary skills to name but a few.
You will be required to work in a flexible manner, on a roster basis, which will include evenings and weekends as needed. Previous experience and a drivers license, whilst desirable, is not necessary – what we need most from you is gumption and a can-do attitude.
