Summary
We are a nationwide charity providing support and care to older people in the vibrant Borough of Bromley. We are seeking a highly motivated individual who has the ability to develop and co-ordinate a stimulating and relevant range of activities for our clients across three extra care services located in Bromley Common, Penge and Orpington. You will be developing activities in a collaborative manner ensuring that they meet clients’ goals, improve their wellbeing and enhance social inclusion. You will also occasionally support clients living in 3 Supported Living services in Bromley to undertake activities as well.
You must be a proactive and creative person with the ability to build links with the local community and access resources and new opportunities. A genuine interest in working with older adults at risk is essential as is a commitment to diversity.
You will be well organised and efficient with excellent communication and IT skills (especially Word/Excel/Publisher). You will be approachable with a warm and effervescent manner. You must enjoy working in a team environment as well as be able to work alone using your own initiative. You will be able to build strong working relationships with direct colleagues and other staff at the services, collaborating to provide the best service for clients.
In return for your commitment we can offer you interesting and varied work and you will enjoy visible and supportive management from our team.
You will be based in our services in Bromley and will be expected to travel between them as required. A driver is preferred, however all our services are easily reached by public transport. Occasional travel within our wider London services may also be needed. Working hours will be generally within the hours of 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday; however there will be some work on evenings and weekends, so some flexibility will be required.
Benefits of working with Creative Support:
We offer all employees competitive pay and a pension contribution in addition to 28 days annual leave. As an employer that is committed to the professional development of our staff we also support our care staff to complete the nationally recognised Care Certificate and pay for your enhanced DBS. Additional benefits include enhanced maternity leave, employee support programmes and an additional day of leave each year on or around your Birthday.
Creative Support is a passionate, inclusive, and anti-racist organisation. We are a Stonewall Diversity Champion, Disability Confident Employer, who have recently received Investors in People Gold award. We actively encourage applications from candidates from all backgrounds and cultures, however we can only accept fully completed applications from those located in and eligible to work within the UK – Please be aware we are currently at full capacity with our Visa Sponsor Licenses, therefore we are not accepting applicants who are seeking sponsorship.
We are also not accepting applicants who are currently on a Skilled Worker Visa, seeking secondary employment, as we are unable to actively track the hours worked with the primary sponsor.
We will be interviewing for this role as suitable applications are received and may close this role before the closing date upon a successful candidate being appointed. We do not notify unsuccessful candidates of their outcome at application stage, previously unsuccessful applicants must wait six months before reapplying.
We look forward to receiving an application from talented people for this satisfying and rewarding role. For informal enquiries, please contact Jessica Morris (Senior Development Officer) at 07772869304.
