Mental Health Support Workers - Days and Nights Gillingham, England
Job description
Are you enthusiastic, committed and passionate?
Would you like to work in a rewarding & supportive environment?
Would you like to work for a company that provides great training and will actively support you to develop a career in care?
PureCare is seeking to recruit Mental Health Support Workers to undertake day and night shifts at Rock House, our well established home in Gillingham, within easy walking distance of the town centre and with good access to local transport links.
We currently have openings for:
A Day Shift Support Worker (hours are from 8.30am) able to work Monday to Friday and every other weekend.
A Night Shift Support Worker (hours are 9.30pm to 8.30am) able to work Monday to Friday and every other weekend.
So…what do we do? In short, we help, support and encourage people with mental health issues to lead their lives as independently as possible. PureCare offers high quality residential and community support services in Kent and Medway and offers the best standard of support for its clients. Wherever possible, our aim is to rehabilitate our clients back into a life in the community.
Do you feel you have the skills to offer high quality support to others? We are looking for people who really do care about making a difference to the lives of others and who are committed to the cause.
Day shifts involve supporting clients with their cooking, cleaning, budgeting, shopping, medication, appointments and wellbeing.
Night shifts involve a large element of cleaning and less of the activities outside of the homes.
You must have the ability to work both by yourself and as part of a team. Common sense and flexibility are imperative along with a good sense of humour! No previous experience is required as full training will be provided.
Should you wish to apply for any of these posts, please send us your CV.
Please note that a Disclosure and Barring Service check and employment references will be required.
Helping to rehabilitate and improve the outcomes for people with mental health issues is incredibly rewarding work. If you'd like to play your part in improving the lives of others, be given the training and opportunities to develop a career in care, and join a close-knit, fun and brilliant team, then get in touch today.
