- Developing great relationships: taking the time to get to know the interests and aspirations of those we support and the people in your team.
- Working in a self-managed team: you will be part of a small team (up to 11 people) where you will manage your own time and rota, make decisions, creatively solve problems, give feedback and celebrate successes.
- Being a 'buddy’: you will be paired up with another Wellbeing Support Worker in your team and be one another’s designated buddy. This involves supporting each other on individual problems, reflecting on your work and providing useful feedback to help youlearn and develop in your role.
- Collaborating with the families/ friends of the people we support: you will make regular contact with the loved ones of those we support to make sure we are helping them in the best way possible.

**Who we’re looking for**:
- First things first, it’s important that we share the same values
- You must have a full UK driving licence and access to a car
While we don’t ask for prior care experience, we do ask that the following things matter to you:
- Connecting with people: you love getting to know other people, spending time with them, and working as part of a team.
- Connecting with your community: you enjoy being connected to your local neighbourhood, whether as a member of local groups, or just being in touch with your neighbours.
- Making a difference: you love knowing that you make a difference in people’s lives, large or small.
- Trying new things: you have a go, try new things, and enjoy variety. You’re flexible and you take initiative to make things more interesting.
- Being busy: You love being on the go, and don’t enjoy being bored. You have lots of interests and hobbies (when you have the time).
- Taking responsibility: you are happiest working in a supportive and connected team making decisions together and trying new ideas.
