An exciting opportunity has arisen within Caring for Thurrock, Wellbeing Team.
Wellbeing Teams provide personal care and other support to enable people to live well at home and be part of their community.
We challenge the loneliness, boredom and helplessness that many older people experience, and support people to feel connected, to contribute, be active and have purpose, their own way. Wellbeing Workers use their head, heart and hands to support people and bring our values to life.
Our values are: Compassion, Responsibility, Collaboration, Curiosity, Creativity and Flourishing.
What are we looking for in you?
Warm, friendly, reliable, full of energy, a great listener, flexible, a good problem-solver, helpful, honest, trustworthy, someone with a 'can-do' attitude, confident, self-motivated, caring, generous and kind.
- You are a people person, you love getting to know other people, spending time with people and working as part of a team. You would describe your family, friends and neighbours as very important in your life.
- You enjoy knowing your local neighbourhood and being connected to what is happening locally - whether that is as a member of local groups, or just being in touch with your neighbours.
- You love to know that you are making a difference in people's lives, and making a positive difference in the world, however small this may be.
- You love having a go, trying something new, are up for learning new technology, and having variety in your life and work.
- You are not one for standing still or being bored. You love being on the go. You have lots of interests and hobbies (when you have the time!).
- You would hate to do exactly the same job in the same way every day and love variety and you are a bit of a risk taker.
- You are happiest working in a supportive and connected team making decisions together and trying new ideas.
- You are willing to undertake personal care for those people who are unable to do it for themselves
- You can support people with their medication requirements.
We welcome people who have never done care work before - we will provide you with all of the training and support you need. If you have not done care work before, you might want to look at this to check whether it is for you http://www.aquestionofcare.org.uk/instructions-page
If you have done care work before - we will provide you with all the training and support you need to work differently, as the Wellbeing Workers role is not the same as traditional care.
The successful candidate will need to have a professional attitude at all times and have knowledge around the understanding of Dementia, Challenging behaviours and Manual Handling - training also provided.
A Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check is required at Enhanced plus Adults barred list level.
