Community Support Worker - Burnham Road
Salary: £12 per hour - £13 per hour on weekends and bank holidays
28 hours per week
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.
The Role
We are looking for a community support worker to join our team at one of our community houses - Burnham Road in Garforth, Leeds. You will be trained to provide personalised support to our adult residents, following individual support plans to meet their needs and aspirations. The focus is on developing independent living skills: personal hygiene, meal preparation, exercise, leisure activities, and socialising.
You’ll gain job satisfaction from seeing the people you support do more for themselves and live the life they want. If you’re interested in building a career, we’re here to support you on your journey.
About You
We’re not looking for specific experience; your personality and values are what matter. We can train and develop you to become a great rehabilitation support worker if you:
1. have genuine empathy for our residents, with positivity, patience, and resilience to support them through their rehabilitation
2. enjoy teamwork and take pride in getting a job done well
3. have excellent face-to-face communication skills and a good standard of literacy
4. have good time management skills and the ability to prioritise your workload
Rewards
You can look forward to excellent benefits, including discounts on many brands and services:
1. A competitive rate of £12 per hour with a £1 increment over weekends and bank holidays
2. 33 days annual leave inclusive of bank holidays (pro rata)
3. Excellent training and support
4. Nationwide employee staff discounts including gym membership, dining, and shopping
5. Blue Light Card providing discounts online and in-store for those in the NHS, emergency services, social care sector, and armed forces
