Are you looking for a Community Support Worker role with a difference? If so this may be the role for you...
What makes them different?
- Their Community Support Workers are able to spend longer periods of time with the young adults and therefore do not move from call to call, you may sometimes spend a full day with one young adult.
- You will work with a small group of young adults so you can really get to know those that you are supporting.
- Although driving will be required, you will not be expected to spend the entire shift driving from one location to another.
You will cover Haywards Heath and surrounding areas.
