Forest Homecare is recruiting Support Workers to join our Colchester team. No experience is necessary as full paid training is provided. As a Support Worker, you will need to have a professional, caring, and flexible approach.
Your main duties will include:
- The role of Support Worker will involve supporting individuals with a wide range of activities including access to vocational, educational and social activities
- Supporting with home related tasks as well as general day to day activities as required by the service user in order to meet their desired outcomes and needs
- In addition to this, some of the individuals that we support may require assistance and prompting with aspects of their personal care
- Visits can range from 30 minutes to several hours depending on the client's needs and requirements. In addition to this, some of the people we support require sleep-in duties overnight
Experience:
This role is varied, and every day is different, so being adaptable, and using your common sense and initiative are a must for this role. You do not need to have worked as a Support Worker before applying to us, but all experience in this field will help. Those who have worked in hospitality, customer service, or retail can also draw on transferrable skills for this field.
Forest Homecare is committed to ongoing training and supervision, qualifications, and continuing professional development. We also provide an extensive induction on the commencement of employment. Experience is not essential, just a willingness to learn and implement all necessary skills for the safety and well-being of the service users.
Car owners: this is essential due to the location of our Service Users.
What we can offer you:
- Paid induction training with regular updates
- Care Certificate and Health and Social Care Qualifications
- Free DBS check (if required)
- Uniforms and PPE provided
- Full or part time hours with flexible shifts suitable for you
- Mileage paid

- Support and encouragement to progress and reach your full potential within your chosen career
Forest Homecare is positive about inclusion and welcomes applications from individuals who can meet the requirements of the job position and may wish to request flexible working or reasonable adjustments to support them.
Car ownership is essential, due to travel between Service Users' homes across the Colchester area.
