Bank Support Worker - Adult Community Support

WE DO NOT OFFER SPONSORSHIP.

We are looking for people who share our core values and are able to apply these to the work that they do. At the heart of our ethos are five key words, these underpin the PRIDE we take in our services.

‘Potential, Responsibility, Integrity, Diversity, Empathy’

The main focus of the support is to enable the people we support to live a full and happy life, to run their own home and to take part in a range of activities in the community.

• Providing practical assistance and emotional support to empower the people we support to achieve their goals and aspirations, respecting everyone’s individuality and enabling them to make appropriate choices to live the life they wish, in line with their individual support plans.
• Promote the health, well-being, physical, emotional, cultural and spiritual beliefs of the people we support and ensure they are met in an inclusive way.
• Facilitating social, educational or work activities such as visiting family and friends, walks, shopping and other recreational activities of their choice.
