Male Community Support Worker

Salary: £24,672.38 per annum

Are you passionate about supporting others? Come and join our friendly team!

We currently have a Community Support Worker role available in Warrington. This is a full-time position, 37.5 hours per week with the salary of £24,672.38 per annum.

This role is open to male applicants only due to the needs of the Members you will support. You’ll also need to be a driver with your own car.

What you’ll do:

You’ll work with local people to build their skills, local connections and friendships. You’ll make sure that the people you work with (Members) are doing as much as they can for themselves, that they are looking after themselves and that they have a life that is bigger than social care support.

• For David, this meant helping him to sort out his money so that he paid his bills and had some money left over to spend on what he’s really passionate about: World of Warcraft. Now he feels in control of his money, he has a new goal and is saving for a trip abroad.
• For Carol, it was about setting alarms so that she remembered to take her tablets. Now she feels less anxious she’s getting out and about and meeting other Members.

You’ll feel inspired and help inspire people. You’ll encourage them to try new things and have new experiences. You’ll reassure but you won’t take over. Every Member you support is unique, and every day will be different.

Your role will be out and about. You’ll meet people in their homes or at local venues.

What you won’t be expected to do:

We support people with a lot of different things to do with leading an ordinary life, but we don’t do things like bathing people or taking them to the toilet. This is sometimes called personal care. If people need personal care, we will work with other local support providers to make sure they get what they need.

Your benefits:

• Generous annual leave allowance of 30 days per year plus bank holidays (pro rata for part time team members).
• Excellent training programme to reach your potential – even if that means you move on!
• Flexible working – we are all about supporting people to live the life they want to lead and that includes our teams.
• Pension Scheme with Life assurance of two year’s salary.
• Employee Assistance Programme – face to face counselling and a range of advice.
• We pay for your DBS (previously CRB) and Online Update

Your diverse and inclusive workplace:

Our vision is for a welcoming world that celebrates the skills and talents of everybody.

KeyRing is proud to be an equal opportunities employer and is committed to promoting a diverse and inclusive community.

KeyRing is also a disability confident committed employer. We encourage applications from our diverse communities to help us make this happen. We want you to feel at home, and be yourself, so we can benefit from your unique skills and talents.
