Support Worker - West Kent

Role Responsibility

Support Worker - Community Day Services (West Kent Locality)

Pay 25,252-26,262
Full Time - 2 Vacancies Available
Base Location: Gravesend Community Day Service

Have you ever considered a career in care?

We are excited to offer two part-time opportunities within our Community Day Services team, supporting adults with learning and physical disabilities in West Kent. As a Support Worker, you will help individuals develop essential life skills, use, and be part of their local communities, and achieve their personal goals.

If you're looking for a role where you can make a real difference in people's lives, this could be the opportunity for you. Working in care is one of the most rewarding paths you can take-supporting others to live more independently, confidently, and happily.

No Experience? No Problem

To succeed in this role, you'll need to bring:
  • Empathy and compassion - understanding and caring about the needs of others
  • Patience and resilience - supporting individuals at their own pace
  • Good communication skills - listening, encouraging, and engaging effectively
  • Reliability and responsibility - being dependable and trustworthy
  • Teamwork - working collaboratively with colleagues and other professionals
About the Role

You will work as part of a team both in our dedicated building spaces supporting with activities such as cooking, arts and crafts and boccia, and within the local community supporting trips to go fishing, swimming, sailing and bowling to name a few. You will deliver person-centred, outcome-focused support. Your role will involve:
  • Supporting individuals to achieve personal goals and aspirations
  • Promoting independence through tailored care plans
  • Encouraging social inclusion and community participation
  • Assisting with some intimate personal care and mobility needs, including manual handling
  • Collaborating with colleagues across East Kent services as needed
  • If you are able to drive our service vehicles, this would be great though not essential.
What we can offer you

We welcome applicants from all backgrounds. No previous experience is required, as full training will be provided. If you are passionate about helping others and eager to learn, we will support you every step of the way.

You will receive:
  • A comprehensive induction programme
  • Completion of the Care Certificate
  • Training in manual handling, medication, and other mandatory modules
  • Minibus driver training (if required)
  • Ongoing development opportunities, including the chance to gain a Diploma Level 2 in Health and Social Care
