Kingswood, South Gloucestershire, United Kingdom Care Horizons ltd Full time
Does anyone fancy a career change?

If you are, Care Horizons Ltd are looking for Support workers/Mentors/Befrienders, including sleeping in.


If you work in a pub, restaurant, cinema or anywhere else in the leisure industry, you already have 2/3rds of what it takes for Support Care.

For those of you saying how is it similar, well.

You work unsociable hours and strange shifts, and so do we - sometimes

You get paid by the hour, and so do we (except we probably pay higher).

You support people all day, and so do we.

You may have some customers who are more challenging, well, so do we occasionally.

You are usually patient, have a sense of humour, are a good listener and are able to multitask, guess what? So are we


Don't struggle with current economic times, if you want to try but still aren't quite sure, have a chat, and come out for some shadowing you may just find you actually like it.


Support in the community is a sector that will never suffer through the economic downturn, and the opportunities for advancement are endless.

Check out the ad below.


Ok, I'm back and on the hunt again, as we are able to support gentleman 24/7 in the BS35 area.

We do have support available in the community also.

There are only 300+ days left until Christmas, so you need to start saving

We are looking for Support workers, including sleep-in.


Experience is not required as we will train you, and you will always be shadowing with an experienced staff member.

You will need an exceptional sense of humour, and that's just to deal with the cave dwellers (office staff) and a lot of patience.

As we aim to remain COVID-free, you will dress like a spaceman (when the government decides), (full PPE). We have even renamed the office Area 51.

In exchange for your sanity and a life sentence, you will receive:
Training in about 300 different qualifications, including level 2,3 for those that want to progress in the future and get paid to sleep at work - now we are talking

All PPE (Area 51 looks like a storage unit)

Uniforms - what is it? Just casual wear is fine

Work Phone

All contractual rights

Rewards

DBS
And a whole host of things you probably don't even want.


We are a highly professional company; however, we are human (well, unless it's a full moon, then it's debatable) fun and realistic, we know you aren't robots, so when we shove 300 hrs on your rota, we know you will cope.

We cover areas between Thornbury/Yate /Kingswood /Patchway and the surrounding area and basically anything around.


We believe in continuity of support, so we like to keep Staff in set areas as much as possible, and all of our work is on set runs with mínimal travel between scheduled support.


We are looking for the following:
Drivers

  • As many hours as you would like to work, 10, 15, a week


Drivers will need access to a vehicle, I don't care if it's a camel or a magic carpet, so long as it gets you and the client from A to Z, and your insurance is covering you.

I'm afraid we can't accommodate school hours as our runs start before school and finish later than school.
