Key Responsibilities

We are looking for a passionate Community Care Assistant to become part of our community teams. These teams utilize a collaborative approach to deliver care, foster recovery, and encourage social inclusion for individuals of all ages facing mental health challenges. This role offers a unique chance to enhance your skills while working with this demographic in a community setting.

About Our Organization

EPUT seeks motivated individuals who embody our core values of Care, Learn, and Empower. In return, we provide a comprehensive range of benefits and development opportunities, including:

Job Duties

The successful candidate will collaborate with service users and their families under the guidance of a senior team member to deliver practical support as outlined in the care plan. You will assist and empower service users to achieve and maintain independence while promoting recovery.

The Mid and South Essex Integrated Care System (ICS) unites key health, care, community, and voluntary sector organizations to enhance health and wellbeing and address health disparities. An example of this collaborative effort is the establishment of our Health Care Assistant (HCA) Academy, an initiative designed to support the incoming HCA workforce.

To facilitate this collaborative workforce model, the successful candidate will be required to participate in a comprehensive 5-day (Monday to Friday) face-to-face Induction Programme. This will take place at our designated education hub, with start dates discussed during the recruitment process.
