Day Opportunities Support Worker (Gosport Community Link)

Joining our friendly team, you’ll play a key role in supporting people with learning disabilities to engage in a variety of personalised and meaningful activities. This could include involvement in projects within the local community or helping to develop important social networks. Providing person-centred support, you’ll help people with eating and drinking, personal care and communication.

Our clients have a range of differing needs, abilities and interests and you’ll celebrate this diversity, promoting inclusion while offering fun and fulfilling activities to suit them. In this role, no two days are the same. You may be out and about swimming, bowling, going to the cinema or even the pub. Or simply sharing a personal hobby or interest, within our well-resourced facilities.

Take a look at our Candidate Pack for more information about the role, team and our values. The section ‘About you’ explains what specific knowledge, skills and experience we want you to tell us about. Make sure you explain how you meet these requirements and demonstrate our values, in your application.

You may already have experience of enabling or providing care, but it’s not essential. For this vital role your life experience is just as important as work experience. But most importantly, you’ll demonstrate our core values, showing empathy and compassion and share our commitment to enabling people to lead full and active lives. As a strong team player, you must have good communication skills and the ability to collaborate with a diverse range of people. With a ‘can do’ approach, you’ll enjoy thinking creatively and inspiring others to engage. Sound basic IT and accurate information recording skills are also essential.

In return we can offer you a comprehensive induction programme, so that you’ll have all the training you need to do a fantastic job. You’ll also get great satisfaction from supporting people engage in the activities that mean so much to them. We are committed to your continued personal development and offer an extensive Benefits Package.
