Support Worker (Male)
We’re looking for compassionate Male Support Worker with the ability to encourage people to look after themselves so they can live their lives to the fullest.
About the role:
As a Support Worker, you’ll deliver excellent care, celebrate achievements, encourage fun and creativity and engage directly with the wider community. This is more than just a job – you will be helping the people we support gain independence and live healthy, happy and fulfilling lives.
We will train you to provide personalised support and follow individual support plans to meet the needs and aspirations of each person. The focus is developing independent living skills: personal hygiene, meal preparation, exercise, leisure activities, socialising – the daily routine of regular life.
At this service you will be supporting 2 males to access the community by attending voluntary jobs, going bowling, line dancing and cycling. These are just some of the regular activities you will get to enjoy while working.
Hours:
The shifts are 24/7, they vary from 10am to 4pm with sleep in shifts from 4pm to 10am.
Location:
Close to central Bromley, on all major bus routes, bus stop 5 mins away, local shops, free parking at the service.
About you:
We’re not looking for any kind of specific experience. It is your personality and values that will make you a good fit for the role and our organisation. We will train and develop you to become a great support worker if you:
- have genuine empathy for the people we support, with the positivity, patience, and resilience to support them through difficult times.
- enjoy teamwork and take pride in getting a job done well alongside your colleagues.
- have excellent face to face communication skills and a good standard of literacy.
- have good time management skills and the ability to prioritise your own workload.
