Support Worker

Could you help some amazing Children to communicate, express themselves and connect with the world? Come and work for us who can offer you FLEXIBLE HOURS & EXCELLENT BENEFITS We have a great opportunity for a passionate and dedicated Male individual to join our team as a Support Worker at our Gullivers Service in Hornchurch. We have shifts covering 37.5 hours per week. You will also need to be a driver. Previous experience working with children with disabilities would be an advantage. Vacancy Details As a Support Worker you will support and enable people to live the life they choose: to make choices, to express themselves and live as independently as possible. Your patient support and encouragement will assist individuals to run their own lives as much as possible - helping with personal care, supporting someone to rustle up some breakfast, do the weekly shop or visit a local café. We also support people to take part in some our amazing arts and wellbeing activities - from dance to music making and swimming. Being a Support Worker can be the springboard to your future career - and to all sorts of opportunities and management roles. The Ideal Candidate Experience is not necessarily required for this role as we are able to support you and provide you with an excellent induction. However, it is really important that you are able to demonstrate the right values and behaviours to enable you to make a difference to people's lives. Flexibility is needed as working times do vary and will include evenings and occasional weekends; we will however provide you with a rota well in advance so you can plan your social life accordingly. We are not an agency - you will be working for Achieve together as part of our amazing team, and will benefit from our in-house learning and development opportunites right throughout your career. You'll work at one service, not driving from client to client, so you'll form a close bond with the people you support and your colleagues (and be paid for your entire day's work). RM11 3BL
