Support Worker- Dereham

Are you a passionate about shopping? and visiting the beach? Do you love exploring your community in the car or on foot?

Do you have patience and empathy?

Become a Support Worker

What matters to the people we support matters to us. It's their life, their way.

We are looking for warm and friendly people to join our team supporting 3 individuals who live independently in Dereham. You will be working alongside them in their own home so it's important you can connect, share interests and be interested.

This role will involve a real hands-on approach supporting them to maintain their health and wellbeing. They enjoy a variety of activities at home and within their community, so if you enjoy new and exciting things to do, then this could be just the place for you.

The shifts required are a mixture of Early and late shifts, long days, sleep ins and some weekend working.

So, if you enjoy building meaningful relationships and think you could plan, communicate and deliver support with and alongside people, then this is the place for you.

Being a driver is essential for this role with access to your vehicle as public transport is very limited to the area.

Affinity Trust does not presently hold a Sponsorship Licence and while this status is reviewed regularly there is no present proposal to apply for such a Licence

Why Join Us?

What will we do?

We will train you in everything you need to be a great Support Worker. We will apply and pay for your enhanced DBS.

We provide a package of benefits that make it that bit easier to be your best and we can also support you to achieve a Level 2 diploma in Health and Social Care and pursue a career that takes on more responsibility.

We offer Wagestream - a money management app that gives you access to a percentage of your pay as you earn it, access to coaching, vouchers, discounts, cashback and more.

You will be entitled to annual leave and have the ability to buy additional leave.

Fully funded health cash plans giving you access to a 24 hour GP, money back on prescriptions, dental treatment, opticians and access to many more health benefits

What will you do?

Supporting people is really important but it's not all walks and wildlife. We also support people to take medication, assist with personal care, make healthy lifestyle choices and maintain their home in a way that they feel safe, well and happy.

It sounds exciting to say no two days will be the same, but in support, sometimes they are. Sometimes people like routine and struggle with change… But when you support someone to try something new - what a feeling!
