Head First is recruiting support workers for a 61‑year‑old gentleman with an acquired brain injury who lives in a flat in Hawkhurst, Kent. He has a great sense of humour, appreciates his support team and always tries to maintain his independence. He enjoys going for coffee and cake in the local area as well as day trips further afield.

The day shifts are to support the client to access the community, receive his daily medication and support with activities of daily living and his rehabilitation programme. There are also domestic chores to maintain the client’s accommodation. You will be joining a team of enthusiastic and compassionate individuals who support the client with his daily needs.

Head‑First provides regular 1:1 clinical supervision and 24/7 emergency on‑call support. They have experienced payroll and HR teams so support workers always have a point of contact for employment and pay queries. Head‑First does not directly employ support workers, but recruits them on behalf of their clients, with dedicated and experienced case managers responsible for day‑to‑day management of the support team. They provide access to mandatory training and brain injury‑specific training. We are a CQC Registered Case Management company that helps clients recruit their own support workers. You will be directly employed by the client; however, Head‑First oversees all aspects of the client’s care package on his behalf.
