New Opportunity – Community Support Worker
Are you looking for a new challenge, with part-time hours in your local community?
Are you a good communicator who likes helping people?
Are you a good organiser? Then this could be the role for you!
Oving Parish Council is currently recruiting for a Community Support Worker to continue an established parish project. The ideal candidate should be positive, compassionate, and caring, ideally with a background in health care, social care or teaching. A knowledge of the benefit system and local authorities would be beneficial however the ability to reach out to people and gain their confidence is paramount. You will be supporting adults with complex needs and running a monthly tea party at Oving Jubilee Hall (when COVID restrictions allow).
This role has previously been staffed by volunteers, however given the increasing challenges that we face in today’s environment, we would now like to employ someone to lead and extend the role.
The probation period for this role is three months with the intention of this becoming permanent for the right candidate. You will work six hours a day, two days a week but may need to be flexible to meet demand. Salary is commensurate with experience. The successful candidate will require a DBS check.
If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you!
