Ely, United Kingdom The Disabilities Trust Full time

**Support Worker**

Ely

**Salary**: £10 per hour (£11 weekends & bank holidays)

Hours: 35 hours per week

Here is your opportunity to start a career in rehabilitation support work. You do not need experience in care or support roles - we provide a full induction and specialist training and coaching.

Working in brain injury rehabilitation is different to other kinds of support work. You’re there to encourage and guide individuals, helping them gain the skills and confidence to live independently.

You will share the journey with these inspiring people as they overcome hurdles, achieve milestones, and reach the goals they’ve set. Many of the people we support only stay for three months before they are ready to move on. You can make a massive difference in that time.

We have full and part-time roles on offer.

**Why join us?**

**The Disabilities Trust is a leading UK charity** that works alongside people with an acquired brain injury, autism, and learning or physical disabilities to help them live as independently as possible. Our teams across the UK support people to move forward with their lives. It’s a special feeling to share their individual journeys and play a part in the progress they make. Our employees are incredibly passionate about the jobs they do - you’ll find a strong team spirit across our services and amazing colleagues who always pull together and look out for each other.

**The Role**

This role is based in Fen House, a 25-bed unit in Ely which provides rehabilitation to people with an acquired brain injury. It is a unique community where the people we support can address their cognitive, behavioural, physical, and emotional difficulties.

Last year, the average length of stay was 12 weeks. Fen House also provides a continuing rehabilitation service for those with longer term needs.

We will train you to provide personalised support to our young adult residents. You will follow individual support plans to meet the needs and aspirations of each person. The focus is developing independent living skills: personal hygiene, meal preparation, exercise, leisure activities, socialising - the daily routine of regular life.

It is a really varied job, with all kinds of different activities to organise and participate in - both at Fen House and in the local Ely community: art, crafts, music, sports, gardening, shopping, swimming, and countless others.

You’ll get huge job satisfaction from seeing the people you are supporting do more for themselves and live the life they want to live. If you’re interested in building a career, we’re here to support you all the way on your own journey.

**About you**

We’re not looking for any kind of specific experience. It is your personality and values that will make you a good fit for the role and our Charity. We can train and develop you to become a great rehabilitation support worker if you:

- have genuine empathy for our residents, with the positivity, patience, and resilience to support them through the difficult times of their rehabilitation
- enjoy teamwork and take pride in getting a job done well alongside your colleagues
- have excellent face to face communication skills and a good standard of literacy
- have good time management skills and the ability to prioritise your own workload.

**Rewards**

You can look forward to excellent benefits, including handy discounts on many brands and services.
- A competitive rate of £10 per hour with a £1 increment over weekends and bank holidays
- 33 days annual leave inclusive of bank holidays (pro rata)
- Excellent training and support
- Group life assurance
- Eye voucher scheme
- Free parking
- Nationwide employee staff discounts incl. gym membership, eating out and shopping.

We also put a big focus on employee wellbeing and support. It matters to us that you feel at your best. Career development is a priority. We will ensure you get all the training and learning opportunities you need to achieve your goals.

The Disabilities Trust is committed to promoting a diverse and inclusive organisation. It’s a place where we recognise, celebrate, and live our values which includes offering a range of inclusive employment policies and staff engagement forums to support employees from all backgrounds.
