    Sanctuary Supported Living is delighted to be recruiting for a Care and Support Assistant at Swan Care North, Colchester.

    At Sanctuary Supported Living, we specialise in delivering a wide range of personalised housing, care, and support services to help people across England to live as independently as possible.

    We're a national organisation, but we're not-for-profit and we think locally by putting our customers at the heart of what we do. We're committed to being our best and helping customers to be their best, as we support them on their pathways for independence.

    No matter your job – delivering support directly or working in our offices to support our frontline teams – your work makes a difference every day.

    And working with us isn't just another job. It's rewarding, inspiring, exciting and it provides an opportunity to make a real, positive impact on people's lives. Plus, we'll support you in reaching your aspirations and career goals, through comprehensive training and benefits.

    The role of Care and Support Assistant will include:

    • Providing support to encourage our customers with learning and physical disabilities to maximise their own potential and independence
    • Key working with individuals to support them in setting out a care and support plan
    • Following care plans and writing comprehensive care notes
    • Providing a high quality, personalised care and support service including the sensitive delivery of personal care and managing medication
    • Helping customers to get up, washed and dressed
    • Supporting customers to go to into the local community e.g. visits to local shops and cafes, visiting friends and attending GP appointments
    • Promoting a positive culture by engaging with customers to prevent social isolation
    • Working with customers and other staff members to ensure a clean and comfortable environment
    • Promoting safe practices and undertaking risk assessments
    • Travel is a requirement of the role; therefore, a full valid driving licence is essential

    Skills and experiences:

    • Prior experience delivering personal care is desirable
    • A kind, caring nature
    • Ability to work well both as part a team and on own initiative
    • Ability to be flexible and adapt to the changing needs of customers
    • Excellent organisation skills
    • NVQ 2 in Health and Social Care, or willing to work towards, is desirable

    Are you ready to be your best?

    Brilliant work deserves brilliant benefits As part of our commitment to making Sanctuary Supported Living a great place to work, here are just some of the ways we'll reward you:

    • At least 25 days paid holiday, rising to 30 days after 5 years' service (plus public holidays)
    • A pension scheme with employer contributions
    • A variety of online discounts and rewards from major retailers
    • Health and well-being plans
    • Life assurance
    • Family friendly arrangements, including opportunities for flexible working
    • Tax efficient savings through our Cycle to Work scheme
    • A wide range of learning and development opportunities

    Job Reference: 217717

    Closing Date: 12 May 2024

    We reserve the right depending on application numbers to close or extend the closing dates for positions; we would therefore recommend an early application.

    Building Equality and Diversity

    Sanctuary Group encourages and welcomes applications from people from diverse backgrounds to support our commitment to offering an inclusive environment for our employees and customers.
    We work closely with the Home Office in order to prevent illegal working.
