About the role
Sense has a great opportunity for a passionate and dedicated individual to join our team as a Specialist Support Worker in Bidford on Avon.
As a Specialist Support Worker you will support and enable people to live the life they choose: to make choices, to express themselves and live as independently as possible. Your patient support and encouragement will assist individuals to run their own lives as much as possible.
In this role, you will support a 19 year old man to access social activities on a Friday in and around his local community. He's an active individual who loves to walk, cook, eat out and play driving games. Ideally, you would be available between 11:30 and 14:30.
About you
Experience is not necessarily required for this role as we are able to support you and provide you with an excellent induction. However, it is really important that you are able to demonstrate the right values and behaviours to enable you to make a difference to people’s lives.
Flexibility is needed as working times do vary, we will however provide you with a rota in advance so you can plan your life accordingly.
