MALE Community Support Worker

Liverpool (Mill Street)

Salary: upto \xc2\xa311.92 per hour

Hours: Full time 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.

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

Mill Street, opened in Spring 2021, is a purpose-built supported living service for people with acquired brain injury, physical disabilities and/or sensory impairment. There are 13 self-contained flats available. The service is managed by a Registered Service Manager Nicola, who leads Team Leaders and team of Support Workers to deliver a service of exceptional quality. It is a really varied job, with all kinds of different activities to organise and participate in.

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.
