BANK Community Support Worker
Salary: up to £13.00 per hour
Hours: BANK
Working in brain injury rehabilitation is different from other kinds of support work. You’re there to encourage and guide individuals, helping them gain the skills and confidence to live independently.
You will share the journey with these inspiring people as they overcome hurdles, achieve milestones, and reach the goals they’ve set. You can make a massive difference in that time.
Brainkind is a charity that aims to improve the lives of people with brain injuries in the UK. Our assessment centres, rehabilitation units, and hospitals use expert neurorehabilitation to support people to regain the skills they have lost. We treat people with a range of brain injuries – sustained through trauma, illness, substance abuse, and more – to recover and meet their personal goals. Our employees are incredibly passionate about the jobs they do – you’ll find a strong team spirit across our services and amazing colleagues who always pull together and look out for each other.
The Role
Mill Street, opened in Spring 2021, is a purpose-built supported living service for people with acquired brain injury, physical disabilities, and/or sensory impairment. There are 13 self-contained flats available. The service is managed by a Registered Service Manager who leads Team Leaders and a team of Support Workers to deliver a service of exceptional quality. It is a varied job, with different activities to organise and participate in.
Mill Street is a permanent home for the people we support, and our focus is to support people to live the way they wish to and be fully included in all aspects of their lives. We actively promote independence and encourage community integration while supporting with daily tasks such as providing personal care, environmental management, supporting with medication, health appointments, meal preparation, and cooking.
You’ll get huge job satisfaction from seeing the people you are supporting do more for themselves and live the life they want to live. If you’re interested in building a career, we’re here to support you all the way on your own journey.

We’re not looking for any specific experience. It is your personality and values that will make you a good fit for the role and our Charity. We can train and develop you to become a great Community Support Worker if you:

2. enjoy teamwork and take pride in getting a job done well alongside your colleagues
