Support Worker

Are you a positive, engaging and caring person that wants to make a real difference to the world? Do you think the greatest gift you can give is to make other people’s lives better? Do you believe that people living with Learning Disabilities and Autism should have happy fulfilling lives, with access to the Community and enjoy the same things the rest of us take for granted? If you answered Yes to these 3 Questions then Plus has an amazing role for you!!!!! Who are Plus Services? Plus is one of the most respected Learning Disability and Autism Charities in London with a proud history stretching back more than 30 years. We have an amazing team that is dedicated to supporting people to live their best possible lives and we have literally changed people’s worlds with the support we have provided. Our Client Group is quite varied and during the recruitment process you would be specifically recruited to work with those that your personality, skills and experience would fit best with. Some have really challenging behaviour, but unless you had the capability to best serve those people you would be assigned to a different group. So, there is no need to worry about being out of your depth. We also provide industry leading training and on-going support, so rest assured you will be ready for anything the job throws at you. I cannot promise you it will be easy, but I can promise you it will be worth it. And when you go home you will know you have made a massive difference and the world is a slightly better place as a result of your efforts. Who are you? You are a caring, compassionate and capable individual? You could be either already working within Social Care or are thinking about joining the sector. We recognise everyone, regardless of their personal history, talents, abilities and unique personal qualities. What does matter is you must care and you must want to enhance the lives of the people who we support and rely on us. You will need to be comfortable spending large amounts of your day one-to-one with the Service Users, there is no leaping from client to client here with 15 minute blocks. You will need to be happy supporting people to learn new skills and become independent. And you will need to thrive on taking people out into the big wide world, expanding their horizons, bringing a smile to their faces and adding a spring in to their step. In return we offer opportunities for professional development and real job satisfaction. We can help you to develop your professional skills and knowledge and progress toward recognised qualifications such as Diploma in Adult & Social Care levels 3/4/5. We are reviewing applications on a regular basis as part of our ongoing recruitment process and we are committed to ensuring all candidates are treated fairly.
