Overview
Job Description
Join learning disability charity Brandon Trust as a bank support worker and discover a genuinely rewarding role where working on a casual basis gives you flexibility. In this key worker role you'll support people with a learning disability, autism, or both, at home and in the community to live life more freely. You don't necessarily need experience as we provide full training. Alternatively you may have social care experience as a care assistant or care worker. You'll have flexibility and access to shifts that suit you; you could work for a day here and there, for a number of months, evenings only or weekends only. As this is a casual role shifts are not guaranteed. Coronavirus update: As a key worker, you'll provide essential services, and you'll receive full training, equipment and support. You will need to be available and able to carry out your role during the Coronavirus pandemic. Brandon is committed to protecting our staff, candidates and people we support so we have taken appropriate measures in our recruitment process to minimise the risk of infection. We will continue to monitor and adapt our plans as the Government and Public Health England release updates. You'll join our friendly teams, enabling people with learning disabilities to increase their independence; there's lots of variety. You'll support individuals in all aspects of daily living; from cooking to managing finances. Supporting people with their personal care and medication needs is also key. As a casual bank support worker, you'll also support people to do things in their community; from shopping and going on day trips to sport and visiting day centres. Find out more about being a bank support worker on our main website. We provide comprehensive training, including the nationally recognised Care Certificate for bank workers who are new to health and social care. View our video of a 'day in the life of a support worker': You'll need good communication skills and a positive, patient approach.

If you don't already have these certificates you are welcome to use our eLearning resources to obtain them or use another training provider of your choice. Once registered on the Brandon bank you'll receive initial training to help you develop your skills and knowledge to enable you to complete your probation and gain your Care Certificate.
