Support Worker - Easingwold
Calling all compassionate and dedicated individuals! Mencap is seeking passionate Support Workers to join our incredible team in Easingwold.
Please note this role requires a driver.
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.
Do you love to be beside the seaside? Is snuggling down and watching a film your idea of a good night in? If you answer yes to either of these questions, then you’re just who we’re looking for to become a support worker at one of our registered services. We are looking to grow our team of dedicated, caring and enthusiastic support workers to enable five individuals we support to live the lives they choose.
If you’re looking to support someone who enjoys activities, you might be best suited to our 1:1 support service, where you’ll support a young man with a different activity each week! Whether it’s football, swimming, or even making the most of his National Trust tickets, this gentleman has endless energy and a real passion for fun – the Support Worker we’re looking for will need to match his passion, or better yet, top it!
If you’re looking for the chance to support individuals with the life skills they need to live independently, then we have a service for you, too. Supporting our lovely ladies in their home, you will be with them all the way while they go about their day; you’ll be their helping hand in the kitchen. You may be supporting one of the ladies out for a coffee – and most importantly, making sure milk is bought on the way home! This service is perfect for someone who wants to see how small acts can mean so much to someone wanting to live as independently as possible.
What we're looking for:
Contract options:
- Full-time: 37.5 hrs
- Relief: As and when required
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!
- As a general guide, some day shifts can start from 7.00 am or 9.00 am and can finish between 9.00 pm or 10.00 pm; these are usually split into 2 shifts. Certain services will also have sleep-in or Waking Night shifts.
*All roles are subject to an enhanced DBS check and suitable references.
