From assisting with daily activities to providing emotional support, you’ll play a vital role in their lives.
About our service
There are 4 ladies that share their home and whom we support to make sure they live the best lives possible. The role of a support worker can be dynamic, supporting people out and about, eating out, visiting places like Colchester Zoo and the seafront, shopping, and enjoying a good social life. The role is also domestic, involving health and safety around the house, supporting and encouraging people with cleaning, laundry, and gardening; everything we all do to run a smooth household. The role is very personal, providing support in the bathroom/shower and getting dressed, assisting with mobility using a wheelchair or hoisting, and addressing health needs and medication. Choice is important, and we work creatively to ensure that people can make their own choices about how they want to live their lives.
What we're looking for:

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!
There is also a non-contractual sleep-in available where you will receive an enhanced flat rate payment of £62.45.
Benefits:
* Flexibility to work the hours you choose.
* Annual leave entitlement based on hours accrued.
* Ongoing training and development opportunities to enhance your skills.
* A supportive and inclusive work environment where your contributions are valued.
