Reading Mencap runs day services for adults with learning disabilities and we are seeking two full-time Care Support Workers to join our friendly team.
You will be helping clients get the most out of our ME (Mencap Enables) Day Services, which provide meaningful activities, a chance to socialise and to learn new skills.
Members enjoy a variety of activities including arts and crafts, cooking, dancing, rugby, tennis and getting out and about in the community.
Post holders will be part of a small team providing practical assistance including support with activities, personal care and everyday living skills.
These roles would suit people who enjoy working as part of a small team, who are adaptable and non-judgmental and who have good communication skills.
Ideal candidates will also have experience of working with people with learning disabilities, together with an understanding of their changing needs in the community or in a caring role with other vulnerable people.
An NVQ 2 in care or its equivalent is preferred or a willingness to work towards this qualification. (Support can be given for study and financing of the qualification.)
