Description

Choice Support are proud to be one of a few social care charities recognised as a Great Place to Work.

We recruit people who share our vision of a world where everyone matters and everyone cares.


We are looking for people with the right attitude - people who share our values and who are passionate about making a difference to helping others achieve their goals.


For this role you will be required to travel between Herne Bay and Canterbury to provide support with two different services.

Hours are generally 9am to 5pm and normally shorter at the weekends.

Full time staff will need to take turns in covering out of hours on call*.


You will be required to work with the people we support to build on their daily living skills - anything from helping them manage their finances to supporting them to cook a meal.

The aim is to promote their independence so that they can gain the skills and confidence to move on into the community.

Staff are required to do some housework, paperwork (IT skills are needed) and to be prepared to be flexible to the needs of the service as every day is different.
