Help break down barriers and support people to live the lives they choose.

We’re looking for Support Workers to join our CQC Outstanding service in Margate. These are permanent roles paying £25,350 a year (£13.00 per hour) for 37.5 hours a week, with various shift patterns available including full time, part time and weekends only.

A full manual UK driving licence is essential for this role, as the service has a manual company vehicle used to support people to get to appointments, attend activities, enjoy outings and participate in their communities.

About the people you will support

Life here is busy and firmly rooted in the local community. Think relaxed afternoons by the beach, day trips to Canterbury, theme parks and London, swimming sessions, social evenings and nights out at local clubs. The people we support also volunteer at a community church, work in charity shops and get stuck into gardening, and you’ll be right alongside them. Even in the quieter winter months there’s plenty going on, from cooking and baking to hands-on experiments that get everyone involved.

What you will be doing

As a support worker, you will:

• Support people to make informed choices and have greater control over their daily lives.

What we are looking for

We are looking for someone who:

• Is compassionate, patient, respectful and a good listener.
• Recognises that everyone communicates differently and is willing to adapt their approach.
• Can work positively as part of a team and build trusting relationships.
• Is committed to promoting inclusion, independence and person-centred support.

When you join Sense, you'll have access to a range of benefits, including:

• 24 days of annual leave plus bank holidays.
