DESCRIPTION/RESPONSIBILITIES:
Bank Support Worker 
Canterbury, Kent
Salary from £9.87 to £12.43 per hour (paid weekly!)
Flexible hours and shifts!

Making a big difference supporting our customer.  That’s when it hits home.
Have you been looking to earn some extra cash, whilst having flexibility to keep to your current commitments? Now you can! What’s more, you’ll be making a big difference! This is an exciting time to join us, we’re one of the UK’s largest Housing providers. You’ll be supporting our amazing customers as part of our flexible bank, picking and choosing the shifts you want to work.

You will be supporting our customer who is a vulnerable young gentleman with complex needs and challenging behaviours. These include Autism, ASD and ADHD and he is looking for a patient team to support him in his daily living activities. He has a wide range of interests from playing sports and Just Dance on the Wii to listening to rap and hip-hop music, so if you’re a fellow Snoop Dogg fan you’ll get on like a house on fire. He also really enjoys hot chocolate, playing pool and table tennis and going to theme parks.
You’ll be trained to support our customer’s mental and physical wellbeing and to take positive risks to enable his successful journey. If required (and only as a last resort), you may need to use physical intervention and we will provide you with training and support to do this safely.

Where you’ll work
You’ll be joining Home Groups wider Kent transforming care teams. We have bases in Gravesend, Snodland, Broadstairs, Ashford, Gravesend and Rainham, so whilst you will be working with our customer at their home in Canterbury, you will be able to support our other customers as and when there is a requirement.
There is lots for you to do and get involved in. You’ll go home each day knowing that you’ve made an amazing difference, how great is that!

How it works
Working on our bank, you’ll be able to pick and choose your shifts that you can work from those available in your area. You can do this on the go via your mobile!

About you
You’ll be flexible to work at short notice, as you’ll be the one picking your next shift working hours that fit around your current commitments. The great news is that you’ll be gaining loads of experience working with our brilliant colleagues and customer. 
It’s important that you have worked in a similar role in a supported housing environment before, are willing to provide personal care and have experience of helping customers to reach their full potential. You’ll have a great understanding of professional boundaries, risk assessments and supporting your customers to enjoy the best possible quality of life. Ideally, you’ll hold a level 2 in Health and Social Care or equivalent.  
When you join, you’ll need to have a valid Enhanced Check under the Disclosure and Barring Service. The great news is that we will pay for that to be done if you don’t have a transferrable one.

Why you should join us
Don’t worry, we won’t drop you in the deep end, we’ll nurture your talent, help you understand how things work here and you’ll have a fantastic induction with ongoing learning and support! 
Our pay rates are based on Living Wage Foundation rate which means you’ll be paid a fair hourly rate for every hour that you work, and your rate even includes a payment towards your holiday pay! After you have been paid for your first shift, you’ll even get a chance to stretch your money further when you get access to our brilliant shopping discount portal (saving money on your food shopping, restaurants, cinema, holidays, gym and lots more!). We’re sure you will find working for us brilliant, so if you want to stick around on a more permanent basis you can also apply for all our roles!
