Summary
Are you ready for a fresh challenge and to make the move to the Joint Community Rehabilitation service? Can you put a spring back into Sue’s steps? Sue lost confidence after injuring her hip in a fall, but she wanted to be able to walk her dog, Daisy, to the local park again.
We work with clients like Sue to achieve the goals that are important to them. This may be walking Daisy to the park, staying well or adjusting to a new routine.

Our apprenticeship programme offers many benefits from working with a large organisation, including mentoring support, a permanent role as a JCR Support Worker when you pass your apprenticeship and many opportunities for career progression. We provide all the training you need - you don’t need any previous experience, just the desire to make a difference.
Upon completion of your apprenticeship, you will receive a Level 2 Diploma in Care.
We are looking for candidates who:
- Can converse at ease with clients and their advocates
- Have patience and understanding when providing support
- Can work as part of a team
- Have a driving licence and access to a car to meet the travel requirements of the post
