Job Advert

Calling all compassionate and dedicated individuals! Mencap is seeking compassionate Female Support Workers to join our incredible team in Great Tey.  The position is full time and permanent (37.5 hours per week).

Due to the location of this service in the Essex countryside there are not great public transport links, this means that it is essential that you have your own transport.  We would ideally also like you to hold a full clean driver’s licence as some of the people we support have their own cars.

As a Support Worker, you'll have the opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of individuals with learning disabilities. You will be working with a diverse group of people, each with their own unique abilities and needs.

From assisting with daily activities to providing emotional support, you’ll play a vital role in their life.

What we're looking for:

·      A genuine passion for supporting others.

·      Excellent communication skills and the ability to build meaningful relationships.

·      Flexibility to work various shifts, including evenings, weekends, and holidays.

·      A positive and empathetic attitude towards individuals with learning disabilities.

 Contract options:

·      Full-time:37.5 hrs

Shift times:

All our services are 24hr care. We prepare the rotas at least 4 weeks in advance so you can still plan your personal and social life!

 *All roles are subject to an enhanced DBS check and suitable references.

 Job ID: 33381

We are an equitable, diverse and inclusive organisation and we particularly welcome and encourage disabled applicants and those from the Black and Asian communities to apply for the role as they are under-represented within the workforce.

Benefits

Why join Mencap?

·      24 days annual leave plus bank holidays (pro-rata for part-time) + a variety of benefits including pension and holiday buying options.

·      Ongoing training and development opportunities to enhance your skills.

·      A supportive and inclusive work environment where your contributions are valued.
