Do you want to make a difference in the lives of people who have a disability? We are looking for enthusiastic, motivated, flexible individuals who enjoy supporting adults with disabilities to live the lives they want.
The post holder will work in community settings or the person's home to teach people with disabilities basic daily living skills, such as shopping, food preparation, cooking, or traveling independently, allowing them to live more independently.
You will be required to work flexibly and will be part of a team responsible for activities predominantly in Central Lancashire, but must be willing to cover other areas of the county to meet business demands. Business mileage is paid.
Good communication skills are essential, and you must be able to plan and work to targets and timescales following an enablement plan.
The post holder will mainly work office hours, between 9 am and 5 pm, Monday to Friday, but there may be occasional requirements to work outside of these hours and at weekends.
This position is covered by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (as amended in 2013). If successful, you will be required to apply to the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) for a 'disclosure'. Further information can be found on the 'Our Recruitment Process' tab.
The post holder will be required to provide a car for use in connection with the duties of this post and must be insured for business use. However, we may consider candidates who cannot drive due to a disability.
Please ensure you have uploaded and attached your supporting statement to evidence how you meet the criteria for the role. The panel may be unable to shortlist you for an interview without this evidence.
In return, Lancashire County Council offers a range of benefits, which can be found on the LCC Vacancies website.
