Make a Real Difference Every Day
Eleven 11 Recruitment is recruiting on behalf of our client for compassionate and enthusiastic Support Workers to join a dedicated team supporting adults across services in Eastry and Aylesham, Kent.
Whether you already have experience in social care or are looking for a rewarding career change, this is an excellent opportunity to build a meaningful career while making a genuine difference to people's lives. Full training and ongoing support will be provided.
About the Role
You'll be supporting adults with learning disabilities, communication needs, behaviours of concern and pica, helping them to live independently, develop new skills and enjoy fulfilling lives within their local communities.
The team works across both Eastry and Aylesham throughout the week, providing consistent, person-centred support. The people you support have access to mobility vehicles, allowing them to enjoy activities, appointments and community outings, so you'll need to be confident driving these vehicles as part of your role.

• Supporting people with all aspects of daily living while promoting independence, dignity and choice.
• Encouraging participation in hobbies, activities and community life.
• Supporting people to build and maintain relationships with family and friends.
• Assisting with cooking, shopping, household tasks and managing finances.
• Providing person-centred personal care where required.
• Driving the people you support to appointments, activities and social outings using their mobility vehicles.
• Supporting individuals in line with their communication needs and personalised support plans.
• Celebrating achievements and helping people reach their personal goals.

• Caring, compassionate and reliable.
• Passionate about supporting people to live independent and fulfilling lives.
• Flexible and willing to work across a variety of shifts.

• Previous care experience is beneficial but not essential.
Driving Licence: A full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle are desirable due to the rural locations of the services. You must also be willing to drive mobility vehicles used by the people we support.
